Biden: Tea Party Wins Could Be Good For Democrats

Vice President Joe Biden remarked Thursday that the Tea Party candidates who have won recent primary upsets in Alaska and Delaware could be help Democrats by energizing the party’s base.

“Maybe the best thing to happen to us lately is the tea party wins,” Biden said during a fundraiser for in Maryland for Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) “Maybe it’ll shake some of our constituency out of their lethargy.”

Biden added that he remained a stalwart believer in Democrats’ ability to maintain their Congressional majorities.

“I guarantee you we’re going to have a majority in the House and a majority in the Senate,” Biden said.
