And all of those numbers are turning around because of the exposure he has received as a surrogate. This is really hard for the Bernie Bros set to understand, but the vast majority of America is like Pete, except for the sexual orientation. He speaks to the very values that ALL Americans embrace. He breaks down the barrier between the conservatives and the liberals and finds common ground. Pete will be in Biden's cabinet in some capacity, and that will only elevate his stature in the future. He's a guy that should be groomed for Harris' VP in 2024 (or sooner). He has a very bright future in American politics for all the right reasons.
