Former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden.
"The answer to hatred & division is to reignite our spirit of common purpose,” the New Jersey senator and former Democratic presidential candidate tweeted about his decision.
Booker announced on Twitter early Monday that Biden will “restore honor to the Oval Office and tackle our most pressing challenges." Booker ended his own presidential bid in January, pledging to do “everything in my power to elect the eventual Democratic nominee for president."Booker planned to appear with Biden in Detroit and Flint, Michigan, later Monday, according to a Biden aide.
His decision follows recent Biden endorsements by several failed Democratic presidential candidates, including Sen. Kamala Harris of California and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. Former Biden rivals Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O'Rourke, Mike Bloomberg, Tim Ryan and John Delaney have also endorsed him.
