Elizabeth Warren endorses Joe Biden for president as Democratic Party gets in line behind former VP to beat Trump
ELIZABETH Warren has endorsed Joe Biden for president.
The senator – who herself – announced she is backing former Vice President Joe Biden in a video posted on .
"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 help our nation rebuild," Warren .
"Today, I’m proud to endorse @JoeBiden as President of the United States."
endorsement of Biden follows just after:
- Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders announced he's endorsing Biden for President
- Former President
- NY Rep. – but she's never spoken to Biden herself
When Warren dropped out in early March, she did not immediately back a choice for the nomination.
Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders were both campaigning for president after Warren suspended her campaign.
It wasn't until after that Warren announced she is endorsing Biden.
The Democrats have now united to back Biden, as the party pushes to beat out Donald Trump for the Presidency.
In the tweet, she included a video of her announcing her endorsement.
"He knows that a government ran with integrity, competence, and heart will save lives and save livelihoods," Warren said.
"And we can't let continue to endanger the lives and livelihoods of every American."
She added: ";Joe Biden is a selfless public servant."
"He is committed to the fight for social, racial, and economic justice.
"Joe Biden will lead a government that works for the American people," Warren said.
Many had expected Warren to back – who like her, is a more progressive Democrat – when she dropped out of the race in early March.
"Let's take a deep breath and spend a little time on it," she told reporters when questioned about who she would back.
"We don't have to decide that this minute," she added.
Sanders himself in March: "She has not made any decisions as of this point."
"And it is important, I think, for all of us — certainly me, who has known Elizabeth Warren for many, many years — to respect the time and the space that she needs to make her decision."
Just two days after , Warren announced her endorsement for the former VP.
She added another , with a link to Biden's campaign on Wednesday.
"Now it’s up to all of us to help make @JoeBiden the next president," she tweeted.
"Let’s get to work."
Warren suspended her campaign after , when she failed to come higher than third place in any state behind both Biden and Sanders.
She was tearful as she told reporters she was ending her campaign.
"One of the hardest parts of this is all those pinky promises and all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years."
