US Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Oregon) endorses Biden
https://katu.com/news/politics/schrader-endorses-biden-for-presidentU.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader became the first Oregon lawmaker to throw support behind a presidential candidate.
Schrader said Tuesday hes endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden.
Schrader said Biden can win tough districts, he appeals to working men and women, and he can work with the other side to get things done.
"He's one of those few charismatic individuals that when you meet him and you talk to him, he really cares about you," Schrader said Saturday when Biden was in Portland for a fundraiser. "It's not about him. I think he's a reluctant runner. It's not about self-promotion; he's doing this because he really thinks the country needs strong leadership."
According to Bidens campaign, Schrader is the 19th member of Congress to endorse the former vice president.
