The 360 | Do high-profile endorsements boost Biden's chances?
In the span of three days, Joe Biden received endorsements from a trio of the Democratic Party’s most prominent voices, as his presidential campaign shifts from the primary to the upcoming general election against Donald Trump.
A day later, Barack Obama formally endorsed Biden, saying his former vice president “has the character and the experience to guide us through one of our darkest times and heal us through a long recovery.” Obama’s endorsement could also make a difference. The former president is extremely popular among Democrats, and his support could help drive turnout in groups that Biden likely needs to win in November. The endorsement also bolsters the Biden campaign’s narrative that he represents a continuation of Obama’s legacy, some argue.
