Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Three Democrats who flipped House districts endorse Joe Biden
Link to tweet
Three House Democrats who flipped Republican-held districts in 2018 announced Sunday that they are endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden in the crowded presidential primary. All three served in the military.
Pennsylvanias Conor Lamb, a Marine veteran, and Chrissy Houlahan, an Air Force veteran, along with Elaine Luria of Virginia who is a retired Navy commander, all said Biden is the right candidate to unify the country. Last week, first-term Iowa Democratic Rep. Abby Finkenauer also announced that she was backing Biden.
Their endorsements come as Biden has argued his candidacy would boost Democrats in competitive House and Senate races in 2020. Biden, who served in the Senate for 36 years, has led the primary field in congressional endorsements so far.

Joe Biden has landed endorsements from several House Democrats representing some of the toughest battleground districts in the country as he works to prove his electability in swing states.
Bidens presidential campaign announced on Sunday that it had won the backing from Reps. Conor Lamb and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania and Elaine Luria of Virginia three centrists with military backgrounds as he seeks a breakout moment in the purple state of Iowa next month.
All three of the House Democrats referred to Bidens foreign policy experience, which the former vice president himself has repeatedly touted in the wake of the Trump administrations killing of Irans top military commander last week.
Our country needs a steady hand, someone who can help heal the country, an experienced and proven leader who can build teams with deep expertise and work across the aisle, Houlahan, who served in the Air Force, said in a statement released on Sunday.
Pennsylvania is not red or blue but a purple place which our next President needs to carry to win, she said.
