Ya dance with who brung ya. I'm still with Joe. I agree. Stop worrying and start working a ground game for voter turn-out.

Rep. Brown told you now, no crying about it when it's too late, no excuses, stop worrying and start working. Biden/Harris 2024 🇺🇸

[wisterias]

(4:53) He was falling asleep at his own RNC! and they want to complain about President💞Biden! Oh, please!!!

[dancingpixie]

So happy he is still going strong!! 💙💙
We the people love President Biden!!!! Start supporting him and stop bashing him!!!

[sharonficken]

Another Democratic super star. You said and said it clearly. Get behind our President. Unite people... unite.

[Gmadando]

Thank God someone finally sees what I see. We need to stand behind the old man and hope him up if necessary to keep going forward not backward. Thank you for speaking on this!

[philipd]

Thank you, Shontel - you are so right, shame some of your colleagues are so spineless and forgotten so soon the previous polls predicting disaster for Biden ... they need to stop stabbing their candidate in the back, and therefore their chances, and therefore keeping Trump out

[Uninspirational]

Keeping Joe Biden in the race is essential. Without a consensus on a replacement, Democratic unity will suffer. Let's unite and support Joe Biden!

[dskinner]

For clarification, AOC was talking about the difficulties any new candidate would face if Biden stepped down, and especially if that candidate wasn't already on the ticket. She was neither critical of Harris nor advocating for a more progressive candidate.

[dremasutton]

It's insulting and disturbing to we the voters that at the last minute a select few can change the presidential candidate without asking voters. How is this democratic? Biden is old but look at his record stellar. I stand with Biden. He gets things done period.

[jamesboland]

Joe Biden all the way... vote 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵.. that's right..start standing up for our president...

[MaggieBinCA]

Rep Brown is a smart young lady. Please keep pushing back on Pelosi. She always seems to think that she is the one who should pick the nominee.

[rockinreneeful]

Yes we need to quit shooting ourselves in the foot

REP. SHONTEL BROWN, SPEAK SISTER! TEN TOES DOWN W BIDEN. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉VP KAMALA HARRIS IS WELL ABLE AND THEY ALL KNOW IT, THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP HER.

[glh]

An open primary is insane and out of touch with reality, history and voters. Thank you, Rep. Shontel Brown.
Sherrod Brown was going to struggle no matter what Biden did. It is unfair for him to blame Biden for his situation. He should work harder on his campaign instead of point the finger at Biden. I have lost respect for him.

[truetexan]

Let’s gooo Rep Brown!! What a well-spoken, positive, and respectful person!!

[neilnesbitt]

Polls mean nothing the people's voice means everything

[sp-bckk]

I agree totally. Biden has worked so hard since he’s been president and he’s just being thrown mud in his face by his own people. Support him and help him win.

[FemFlorida]

I stand with Joe Biden. I'm saying it loud and I'm saying it proud.

[crankydragon]

I would like, Adam Shiff to be more concerned about keeping his seat than, Joe Biden's age.
