Amie, I am very disappointed that you co-wrote the book about Biden barely winning the election! What a way to boost a President’s morale & confidence! After what we’ve been through in the last 4yrs, it’s such a blessing to have someone like Biden in our White House! I’m sad for him that this book is out there. I think it’s shameful!
What is the name of the book? I want to purchase it!
she is so beautiful, professional and likable…!
