Biden’s “Sherry Darling” moment at the DNC because Governor Walz is such a Springsteen fan

Sherry won’t abandon her mother, and the speaker is either stuck with the three of them jammed into the same small car, or he can move on, hoping to catch the eye of one of those “girls melting on the beach,” but the Vice President doesn’t have that option when it comes to casting off… Continue reading Biden’s “Sherry Darling” moment at the DNC because Governor Walz is such a Springsteen fan
