This election is about so much more than @JoeBiden or me. It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started.

Hey Twitter! Have you been wondering lately, “Whatever happened to that Kony guy? And is the int’l community totally blowing a golden opportunity to dismantle his rebel group?” If so, I’ve got just the thread for you.
