Former Vice President Joe Biden endorses U.S. Senate hopeful Jacky Rosen
Former Vice President Joe Biden has endorsed U.S. Rep. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., for her campaign for Senate, according to a news release on Friday.
"I’m proud to endorse Jacky’s campaign because she’s a fighter we can trust to stand up to special interests, take on the dysfunction and abuse of tax dollars in Washington, and get things done for Nevada,” Biden said in a statement on Friday.
“In Congress, Jacky has worked hard to support our troops and our veterans, speak up for Dreamers, defend good-paying solar jobs, shine a light on sexual harassment in the workplace, and stand up for access to affordable health care,” Biden said. “She’s proven herself as a problem solver who will put aside the partisan bickering to build consensus and find solutions. Jacky is tough, she’s never forgotten where she came from, and Nevada families need her as their next Senator.”
The Chicago native is a former computer programmer, and had zero political experience by the time Harry Reid, the former U.S. Senate majority leader, tapped her to run for the U.S. House seat vacated by Republican Joe Heck in 2016.
