DECORAH, Iowa - Joe Biden declined Friday to rule out appointing political donors to ambassadorships or other posts if he wins the 2020 presidential election. But he pledged that his nominees, regardless of their contributor status, would be the “best people” for their posts. “I’m going to appoint the best people possible,” Biden said Friday aboard his campaign bus in rural Iowa. Warren, Biden and Sanders have helped the DNC raise money this cycle, but Biden, especially, has gotten scrutiny from progressives as a candidate tied to the traditional monied establishment. Warren, Biden and Buttigieg all have outraised Biden, with Buttigieg finding considerable success among younger, wealthy Democrats in California and on the upper East Coast.
