Here’s a secret about campaigns:

In the months ahead, we’ll have a nominee. By then, that campaign will have in it the senior leadership of the campaigns of Warren, Klobuchar, Buttigieg, etc.

Biden and Sanders right now are scrambling to bring Warren people on first...

For a moment, it’s a weird marriage as you welcome your counterpart whom you’ve been competing against (like when the Klingons joined the Federation...apologies to fans if I got that example incorrect). That disappears quickly and you start to become family and to work ahead...

Warren’s people (and others) will be shaping policy for the nominee. Warren (and others) will as well.

There will be daily calls, lots of meetings, former candidates traveling for and with whomever is the nominee. They’ll be pressing them, molding them, shaping them positively.

When Warren says “we move forward,” she means it. She and her team is going to be in this every step of the way.

If elected, our nominee will not be the President they’d have been from the outset. They’ll be better. A #TeamOfRivals as @DorisKGoodwin notes, but a very real team.

As much as the moving parts of the primary have stressed me out, I’m incredibly hopeful at this point because of what I’ve witnessed behind the scenes in my career. I hope by sharing that knowledge I can share my hope as well.

I’m excited about what remains ahead. #GoTeam
