Former Vice President Joe Biden has now consolidated support for his 2020 presidential bid. Senator Elizabeth Warren has officially endorsed Biden on Wednesday morning, just days after getting the nod from Bernie Sanders and former President Barack Obama.
Elizabeth Warren has officially endorsed Joe Biden in a video message she posted on her social media account. “In this moment of crisis, it’s more important than ever that the next president restores Americans’ faith in good, effective government—and I’ve seen Joe Biden help our nation rebuild,” she captioned the post on Twitter. “Today, I’m proud to endorse @JoeBiden as President of the United States.”
“Joe Biden has spent nearly his entire life in public service,” Warren said in the video, CNN reported. “He knows that a government run with integrity, competence, and heart will save lives and save livelihoods. And we can't afford to let Donald Trump continue to endanger the lives and livelihoods of every American.”
“That's why I'm proud to endorse Joe Biden as president of the United States,” the former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate added.
In a Twitter post, Biden expressed his gratitude and acknowledged the support of Warren, whom he described as the fiercest of fighters. “We are in a battle for the soul of this nation and I'm proud to have the fiercest of fighters, Senator @ewarren, on my side,” Biden wrote. “With her help, we're going to beat Donald Trump and create a government that works for everyone — not just the wealthy and well-connected. Let's do this.”
Warren’s endorsement came just days after Biden got the endorsement of two prominent figures within the party. On Tuesday, former President Barack Obama expressed his support for his old colleague and former vice president.
“I’m proud to endorse @JoeBiden for President of the United States,” Obama wrote on Twitter. “I believe Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now,” the former President said in the accompanying video clip.
Biden also got the endorsement of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont after the latter dropped out of the 2020 presidential race on Monday. “We've got to make Trump a one-term president, and we need you in the White House,” Sanders said in a livestream with Biden.
