Booker endorses Biden for president

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker has endorsed former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. for president in a tweet he sent out Monday morning.

ā€œIā€™m happy about the diversity of our nation. Iā€™m happy to see the coalitions that Joe Biden is building,” Booker said in the CBS This Morning video.

“Iā€™m happy that I know, confidently, that he is going to govern in a way that brings us together as a nation across racial, religious, even party lines to begin to do the business because we know now more than ever our adversaries from China to Russia are building a strengthened determination to undermine our democracy.

“Our division as a country is our weakness.

“We need a candidate who can best unify all of us and that is Joe Biden.”
