General Discussion

Biden is a “big fan of Shapiro’s,” the adviser said, partially due to his help during the 2020 election, and his role in handing the Democratic Party victories in the key swing state. He successfully defended the state in 19 lawsuits before the election and over 20 filed after the Nov. 3 Election Day, guarding Biden’s victory in the state.

Despite his appreciation for Shapiro, however, the senior adviser suggested that he likes Walz even better.

“He’s just a blast,” the adviser said.

He pointed to a January infrastructure event in Wisconsin, where Walz and Biden mingled with voters over beers.

“Biden was in the best mood ever,” the adviser suggested and recalled others joking that the Minnesota governor should be brought around more often “because he always put him in such a great mood.”
