David Axelrod actually said...

"If Joe Biden wants to be the nominee of the Democratic Party, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party, because there is tremendous loyalty among a lot of the party to the president."

"That belies the fact of who Joe Biden is. Joe Biden is a guy who spent his whole life kind of coming up from nowhere to proving to people, you know, that he can -- that he's going to hack it."

"He's clearly doing the job and you speak to people around him and they say that."

"I think Joe Biden is going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party."
