After holding off on an endorsement decision for months, Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford announced today he was endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential bid, making him the second of Nevada’s three Democratic representatives to back the one-time frontrunner.

Horsford’s endorsement follows that of Rep. Dina Titus, who officially backed Biden back in November. The other Democrat in the state’s four-member House delegation, Rep. Susie Lee, said last year it was likely she would not endorse during the primary.

The state’s two senators, Democrats Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, have also said they are unlikely to endorse ahead of the caucus on Feb. 22.

In a statement, Horsford said that “Joe knows Nevada,” adding that he believes “[Biden] is ready to do the job of president on day one.”

Found this thanks to a tweet from Nevada journalist Jon Ralston, who commented:

This is fascinating on the eve of early voting. Is Horsford signaling that Biden can hold on here and finish near the top, or is he the kind of guy who boards the Titanic after it hits the iceberg?
