Biden joins Maryland Democrats to rally behind Ben Jealous' campaign for governor
Former Vice President Joe Biden joined Maryland Democrats Saturday night at Camden Yards to rally support for Ben Jealous as he mounts his campaign against Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, just four days after winning his partys contested primary.
The former Delaware senator said Democrats need to end inner-party bickering to take back Congress and win local and state elections to defeat a Republican Party that he said favors corporations and wealthy donors over middle-class, working families.
We have to stop them, Biden told a crowd of 250 at the Jealous fundraiser. We cant do it if were divided.
Biden was joined by the Maryland Democratic Partys biggest names and representatives of the campaigns that rivaled Jealous. Among the Democratic leaders were Sen. Ben Cardin, former Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez, and Reps. Elijah Cummings, John Sarbanes and C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger.
