Steyer endorses Biden for president

[RandySF]

Former Democratic Presidential hopeful and billionaire Tom Steyer endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for president on Thursday.

The businessman told POLITICO in an interview that he plans to use his resources to get Biden elected, joining almost every candidate who dropped from the Democratic primary race in endorsing the former vice president.

Steyer's endorsement comes one day after Sanders suspended his presidential campaign. Sanders's path to the nomination grew increasingly narrow after Super Tuesday, when he eventually ended up more than 300 pledged delegates behind Biden.

In a speech following the announcement, Sanders said he wanted to focus his energy on his duties in the U.S. Senate during the coronavirus crisis.
