CNN’s Berman Calls Failed Candidate Andrew Gillum ‘Part of the Young New Guard in the Democratic Party’

‘How would you feel about Joe Biden who has decidedly not part of the new guard of the Democratic Party getting in the 2020 race?’

EXCERPT:

BERMAN: “You are part of the young new guard in the Democratic Party. How would you feel about Joe Biden who has decidedly not part of the new guard of the Democratic Party getting in the 2020 race?"
GILLUM: "Well we should ask him whether he thinks he’s part of the new guard as well, but in all seriousness, I think Vice President Biden will offer something very interesting in this race. He is, I think, in a lane largely that if he gets in it he could potentially own."
BERMAN: "Which is what exactly?"
GILLUM: "Well, I mean, I think he’s probably one of the candidates that we would consider on our side on the more moderate end of the Democratic spectrum. He’s someone who I think appeals across a range of voters who I think some in our party feel we must more actively go after. But the question will be I think is -- is the vice president prepared to offer a vision about the future of the country that people can wrap themselves around? Elections are always about the future, and if we fall into sort of just a throwback situation where we’re not talking about big, bold ideas, I think it will be problematic."
