Today I am announcing my endorsement of @JoeBiden for President of the United States.

VP Biden is a deeply dedicated public servant with the ability to unite the American people. I am moved by his compassion and ability to connect with people on the most human level.

As Congressional Progressive Caucus Co-Chair, I believe wholeheartedly that gov't can & must be a force for good—expanding access to health care & education, fighting the climate crisis, passing humane immigration reform, & looking out for working people instead of corporations.

I started this campaign as an ardent and vocal surrogate for @BernieSanders & while I have not always agreed with Vice President @JoeBiden on matters of policy, I'm ready to work with him to craft & then implement the most progressive agenda of any candidate in history.

As President, Donald Trump has consistently sided with the wealthy & well-connected over working families & regular Americans, fostered racism & xenophobia & undermined democratic norms & the rule of law.

Trump & his admin have demonstrated repeatedly—& most recently in their disastrous response to COVID-19—an inability to govern, make tough decisions, speak the truth & unite the country in common purpose.

Any progress toward a better future requires defeating him this November.

Our progressive movement of people organizing in the streets & in the halls of Congress has only grown bigger & more diverse, & we have made enormous strides toward racial, gender, & economic justice.

We are ready for a President who will encourage us to be as big as we can be, with compassion & bold leadership. That President must be @JoeBiden.

I will do everything I can to help @JoeBiden win back the White House, take back the Senate, & preserve our House majority.

Together, I am confident we can build a more perfect union.
