Hi guys, I'm Priyanka Rabindi. I rate the newsletter here at Crooked. And today I'm

Tommy was kind of a no-brainer for me to go to. So as we all know, there are a bunch of

people who want to run for president in 2020. They say that they're using the next couple

to work for President Barack Obama in the White House. And before that, on all the campaigns

that got him there, and on campaigns that were in states too. So I had a bunch of questions,

and I made this a no-brainer for me to ask you about campaigns. So as we know, there

are a bunch of people who want to run for President in 2020, and they say they're using the next

couple months to decide what they're going to do if they want to run. Our interns have,
