Former Vice President Joe Biden received endorsements from Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and former Vice President Al Gore on Wednesday, winning support from the climate change champions on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.

"I believe the United States is going to regain its leadership position in the international community. We've got a great candidate, Joe Biden, to do that," Inslee, a Democrat who dropped his own White House bid last year, said in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour after he had made his endorsement in an earlier statement.

Gore said in a tweet that he's "proud" to endorse Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, and appeared later in the day with him at a virtual Earth Day event.
