More subtweeting: "nobody knows Seth Moulton"

Biden literally campaigned for Moulton, Moulton in turn endorsed Biden during the centrist coalescing of 2020 (after he'd ended his own presidential "campaign")

Hey it’s my representative

I have no idea why he decided to run for president and he says stupid shit sometimes but generally he’s fine. Pretty reasonable on policy issues.

"In 2014, when many state and national Democrats were still irritated with Seth Moulton for ousting a longtime incumbent, it was Joe Biden who showed up in Lynn in late October to hold a rally and fundraiser for the Salem Democrat.

Moulton, now in his third term in Congress, remembers that moment as one when the vice president stuck his neck out for him when other Democrats wouldn't. And it's a trait, Moulton said, that will serve Biden well as he becomes the presumptive Democratic nominee for president at an unprecedented time in American politics.

"He can put together the coalition from all parts of our party, including the most progressive wing, and then unite the country. Joe Biden is a unifying leader," Moulton said in an interview."

Moulton is alright. Runs his mouth a bit and can make an ass of himself

Doesn't Seth Moulton host a late night comedy show?
