NJ lawmaker flips endorsement to Biden after Booker drops out.....😎🎨🦩

Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden has picked up the endorsement of a New Jersey congressman who had initially pledged his support to Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.).

“I am proud to endorse Joe Biden to be president of the United States," Rep. Tom Malinowski (D) said in a statement Tuesday morning. Malinowski had backed Booker until his home-state senator dropped out of the primary on Monday.

“I enthusiastically supported Cory Booker until his decision to withdraw from the race yesterday, and thank him for running one of the most principled, positive and unifying campaigns I’ve ever seen," Malinowski added.

The first-term congressman served as the assistant secretary of State for democracy, human rights and labor during the second term of the Obama administration.

On his endorsement of Biden, Malinowski said: "We need a nominee who can calm partisan divisions, unify the country, and, once elected, rebuild our government institutions and leadership in the world.

"Joe Biden will run the campaign we need to win in November; defend the middle class, and restore decency, honesty, and respect for the rule of law to the White House




Go Joe....😎🎨🦩

1. Yeah Tom!

I think having Biden at the top of the ticket would help Tom win his seat in our district (the 7th). That said, our county Democratic Committee is waiting until AFTER Super Tuesday to have our convention for the President line on the Primary Ballot. Let the rest of the country air this out, and then Hunterdon County Committee members will jump on board.

4. I remember that guy from the 2018 Blue Wave!

"Joe Biden will run the campaign we need to win in November; defend the middle class, and restore decency, honesty, and respect for the rule of law to the White House

He was in an article where he was praising Nancy Pelosi for her advice that they run on Health Care.

I want to play something that maybe speaker, certainly Leader Pelosi said to me in September because a lot of people said well you know what, the Democrats don't really have a message to complete with Make America Great Again.

There's no slogan, there's no clear strategy but this is where she laid out in September.

What we're about in our campaign is that we are for the people, for lower health care costs, lowering prescription drug prices.

We're for raising pay checks, lowering healthcare costs, increasing paychecks by building the infrastructure of America and for cleaning up government to make sure people understand that the people's interest, not the special interests are served here in the United States Capitol.

So there she was laying out a strategy and one that clearly is a winning strategy

I think until the very end, this campaign was mostly run on health care, it was run on protecting kids from gun violence, building infrastructure in my state, in New Jersey.

I think the last couple of weeks I think Trump inserted himself into the campaign in ways that were terrible for the country but also bad for his party.

It was fear, demonization and conspiracy theories and in a district like mine, that did not play well, especially after the shootings in the Pittsburgh synagogue because we could link, very clearly, the president's words to one of the worst acts of violence, religious violence, hateful violence in American history and our positive message on practical issues like healthcare, infrastructure, gun violence, the economy, contrasted with fear, was very advantageous for us.
