A top Hispanic advocacy group Thursday endorsed Vice President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination, giving his campaign a much-needed push ahead of a two-week stretch when a majority of the country's Latinos will cast their primary votes.

Latino Victory chairman Luis Miranda said the group chose Biden for his experience in government.

“In January 2021, there will be no learning curve for the next president of the United States. Our country will need an experienced leader who will hit the ground running on day one, and that candidate is Vice President Biden,” said Miranda in a statement.

“Vice President Biden has consistently supported issues that align with the Latino community, including access to quality, affordable health care, job growth, and a prosperous economy, access to higher education and reducing gun violence. He is committed to introducing and fighting for legislative immigration reform, including the protections of the Dream Act, within the first week of a Biden Administration. Latinos will rest assured knowing that they’ll once again have an ally in the White House,” added Miranda.

1. This endorsement is a BFD. They interviewed every candidate before deciding on Biden. Only

in national contests will they endorse non-Latinos.

This might help Biden in Nevada, though much voting is done. Should help in California and Texas. As usual media mentions but briefly.
