Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California, a member of the Biden-Harris campaign’s advisory board, reiterated his unwavering support for President Joe Biden's candidacy on Thursday, despite concerns raised by some Democratic lawmakers about his electability.
In an interview, Padilla expressed his disagreement with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff, who have raised doubts about Biden's chances in the upcoming election. Padilla emphasized that he bases his support not only on polls but also on direct interactions with voters, highlighting a perceived gap between the perspectives of political insiders and everyday Americans.
Padilla pointed out that over 14 million Democrats have already cast their votes, underscoring Biden's status as the presumptive nominee until he decides otherwise. He emphasized the importance of unity within the party and urged fellow Democrats to rally behind Biden's candidacy.
