“[Biden] can connect with the average American — black, white or brown,” Butterfield told the news service. “Warren and Sanders cannot win North Carolina.”
“I have great respect for both of them, but they cannot win North Carolina. Joe Biden can,” he continued.
Cleaver said in a separate interview with the AP that he told Biden that states like Missouri would be must-win in 2020.
“I told him, ’If you are the nominee, you have to campaign everywhere; you cannot surrender any geography to Mr. Trump,’” Cleaver said. “He assured me he will not do that.”
