Sen. Tammy Duckworth endorses Biden ahead of Super Tuesday

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) endorsed Joe Biden on Monday, building on the former vice president’s support from lawmakers ahead of the crucial Super Tuesday races.

Duckworth, a combat veteran, lauded Biden as the best candidate to support U.S. troops and veterans.

“Those of us who've served this nation in uniform understand just how important it is for the commander in chief to have not only the depth of experience needed to protect our country, but also the humility to recognize the magnitude of the sacrifices our troops make on their orders,” Duckworth said in a statement.

“As a combat veteran and former assistant VA [Veterans Affairs] secretary, I know that Joe Biden won't just pay lip service to those sacrifices, he'll make sure our troops and veterans receive the support, care and respect they've earned.”
