Congressional Hispanic Caucus campaign arm endorses Biden

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s (CHC) campaign arm endorsed Joe Biden’s White House bid on Friday, giving the former vice president a boost as he works to expand his appeal among Latino voters.

The endorsement from CHC BOLD PAC comes as Biden steams toward the Democratic Party’s 2020 nomination. While he’s gained a virtually insurmountable delegate lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with a coalition of white, black and older voters, the former vice president has not polled as highly among Hispanics.

“BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Vice President Joe Biden for President. We know Joe leads with his head and his heart and that on day one he will work to bring Americans together and turn the page on Trump’s divisive and hateful politics,” said Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.), chairman of the CHC BOLD PAC.

The endorsement was made after the political action committee met with several presidential candidates, most of whom have since withdrawn from the race.

In its announcement on Friday, the group cited Biden’s policies of expanding ObamaCare and protecting those covered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
