STORYLINE:
Carole Chi (CHEE’) is sticking with President Joe Biden.
The 72-year-old retired middle school teacher from Sterling Heights, Michigan, is a lifelong Democrat who voted for Biden in 2020 and has no qualms about doing so again.
“The people that are saying that Biden should pass the torch, they’re wrong. What those people should do is support this accomplished president. He is so accomplished, it’s unbelievable,” Chi said Tuesday in between sips of iced tea at The Dovetail coffee shop in Warren, Michigan.
The Dovetail sits in the heart of Macomb County, one-time home to the famed party-switching “Reagan Democrats.”
“We have a wonderful president right now. Why are you not supporting him,” she asked.
