Rhode Island governor endorses Biden shortly after Bloomberg exits 2020 race

hode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo (D) announced she would support Joe Biden for president just hours after former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whom she had previously endorsed, dropped out of the race.

The decision by Raimondo could be a precursor to other politicians flipping to the former vice president after Bloomberg's decision to exit the presidential contest.

NBC News affiliate WPRI reported that Raimondo told reporters of her decision Wednesday morning, as Bloomberg announced the end of his candidacy following a poor performance on Super Tuesday. In her remarks, Raimondo reportedly defended Bloomberg's motivations for jumping in the race.
