Rep. Sylvia Garcia (TX) endorses Biden - BFD!!! I guess there are still some who can't be bought.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia of Texas endorsed Joe Biden on Wednesday, giving the former vice president his sixth supporter from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Garcia, who served as one of the House’s seven impeachment managers during the Senate’s trial last month, represents a majority-Hispanic district that covers parts of Houston.

A bilingual freshman, Garcia said she will be active on Biden’s behalf in the run-up to Super Tuesday March 3. She has spoken to the campaign about going to Nevada and South Carolina ahead of their respective caucuses and primary this month.


“I will go wherever I need to go, whatever day it needs to be, and I will do it in English or Spanish,” Garcia told POLITICO in a phone interview. “I am totally committed to making sure that the vice president becomes president of the United States.”

Her endorsement comes ahead of Wednesday night’s Las Vegas debate and Saturday’s Nevada caucuses. After disappointing finishes in overwhelmingly white Iowa and New Hampshire, Biden’s campaign is expecting a top-two finish in Nevada and a win in South Carolina to give the campaign much-needed momentum heading into Super Tuesday, when billionaire Mike Bloomberg will begin appearing on ballots after skipping the first four states.
