I voted Republican all my life until 2016, but I am proud to support Joe Biden in 2020.
I want to share who Joe is with the hope it encourages other disaffected Republicans to do the same. /thread

Biden stuttered as a child. Classmates called him “Bye-Bye,” mocking the way he said his name. It taught Joe to "be mindful of ppl in situations where their difficulties do not define their character, their intellect... You can’t let it define you.”

Joe married his wife Neilia in 1966. Their son Beau was born in 1969, followed by Hunter one year and one day later. Their daughter, Naomi, was born the following year. #MeetJoe 
Americans know the name “Joe Biden,” but many Republicans are just now learning who he is and what makes him tick. We’re excited to help introduce him to our fellow conservatives, independents, and Republicans and share why we are #RepublicansForBiden. /thread
As a child, Biden had a debilitating stutter. Classmates mockingly called him “Dash,” likening his staccato to Morse code, and “Bye-Bye,” on account of his attempt to say his last name. He tried to avoid stuttering by playing out conversations in advance in his head. @politico
He played wide receiver and halfback on his Catholic prep school’s undefeated 1960 football team, catching 19 touchdown passes.
