Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has been endorsed by a Texas congresswoman who was an impeachment manager in Pres. Trump's Senate trial.
In this image from video, House impeachment manager Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas,, speaks during debate ahead of a vote on calling witnesses during the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump in the Senate at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Friday, Jan. 31, 2020.
Garcia, one of the first two Latina congresswomen from Texas, announced her decision as early voting begins in her state. Texas has the second most delegates at stake on March 3, behind only California. Nevada, meanwhile, is the first nominating contest to prominently feature Hispanic voters. It’s not clear that elected leaders’ endorsements sway voters significantly. Biden had key backers in Iowa — two popular congresswomen and a widely known former governor — and still finished well behind the leaders: Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
