Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden, following Monday's endorsement by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Tuesday's endorsement by former President Barack Obama.

From an April 15 campaign video:

ELIZABETH WARREN: He grew up on the ragged edge of the middle class in Scranton. He committed to public service early in life and never stopped serving. And he's faced unspeakable tragedy with fortitude and grace.

These experiences animate the empathy he extends to Americans who are struggling, no matter what their story.

Empathy matters. And in this moment of crisis, it is more important than ever that the next president restores Americans' faith in good, effective government.

Joe Biden has spent nearly his entire life in public service. He knows that a government run with integrity, competence, and heart will save lives and save livelihoods. And we can't afford to let Donald Trump continue to endanger the lives and livelihoods of every American.

And that's why I'm proud to endorse Joe Biden as president of the United States.

I've seen the vice president help a community heal. One year to the day, after the Boston Marathon bombings that tore up bodies and tore our sense of safety and community, he was here. People who'd been hurt, people who were afraid: He gave them peace and he gave them grace.

[denem]

2. The last endorsement ... and the best

bravo Elizabeth

[Stuart G]

3. No doubt, Elizabeth Warren is the best choice for Vice President...

[efhmc]

4. She would be great and a wonderful choice but I think Biden will go for someone

younger.

[neohippie]

6. I think we need to keep her in the Senate

We need to win more Senate seats not remove some of our best in my opinion, but I voted for her, because like Gov Jay Inslee she has actual policy road maps for progressive change

[efhmc]

8. No senate seats taken away unless we have safe Dem governors in charge to appoint a strong

well known person to that seat. When is EW up for reelection?

[not_the_one]

5. Elizabeth was my first choice AFTER Mayor Pete. But this falls in the WTFTYSL category.

(I just made that up... )

What The Fuck Took You So Long?????????????????????????????

It is not like she WASN'T going to endorse Biden. At this point it is almost a non-event.

[efhmc]

9. I am always so LOLOOI (Little old lady out of it) that I was going to have to google that acronym.

Happy it was made up. But I may use LOLOOI again.

7. I am meditating, praying, begging that Joe makes Elizabeth his VP...
