.@JoeBiden and @ericgarcetti at King Taco in LA

I asked Biden if we're in a constitutional crisis. "We’re getting close. I think the real crisis is he’s breaking down all the barriers. Across the board. ... From the time he’s come into office he’s attempted to diminish every other branch of government. And the fourth estate."

Worry impeachment helps Trump politically? Biden said: "Whether or not it is helpful to the Democratic candidate should not be the measure. It’s about what is the responsibility of the Congress to do. And I think they have to continue to push."

Garcetti as VP? Biden: "He is qualified to be mayor, to be president, to be a senator, or anything that he decides."

@KamalaHarris?

"She’s qualified too. This idea that it’s a matter that we have a lot of people who aren’t qualified or aren’t electable. C’mon. Give me a break"
