Joe nabs endorsement from National Wildlife Federation's political arm in first for the group 🦒🐯

Joe Biden just notched his first endorsement from an environmental group, in a sign he is consolidating support from the Democratic base in the 2020 presidential race.
The political arm of the National Wildlife Federation said Thursday it is backing Biden two days after the former vice president posted big wins in the Democratic primaries in Michigan and at least three other states.
The announcement represents a growing realization among green groups that Biden is likely to clinch the Democratic nomination — and that, should he win in November, they must work with his administration to craft environmental policy


The federation, which has 6 million members, advocates for the protection and restoration of plant and animal habitats against threats that include water pollution, land development and — increasingly — climate change. O’Mara said Biden has “the best skill set to bring different interests together,” including oil, gas and coal workers who often don't align themselves with the wildlife conservation movement


In a statement, Biden said he was “incredibly proud and honored” to get the group's endorsement. Though the National Wildlife Federation has backed several Democrats in House races, this is the first time it has endorsed a candidate for president
