CBC chair endorses Biden

Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for president, the Biden campaign announced Friday.

“He’s a man of the people — a decent man who not only understands the issues our communities face every day, but is supportive and productive in crafting and implementing solutions needed to close the wage gap, to shrink the disparities in housing, and to equalize access in healthcare coverage,” Bass said in a statement.

Bass joins 36 other members of the CBC in endorsing Biden, who has touted his support among black voters. Bass told The Associated Press that the CBC as a whole is not officially endorsing a candidate, though the majority of members have already announced support for Biden.

Biden also enjoys the backing of major lawmakers and former campaign rivals Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.).
