Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Top Detroit newspapers endorse Biden ahead of Michigan primary (The Hill)
03/05/20 01:15 PM EST
Joe Biden earned the endorsements of two top Detroit newspapers just days before Michigan’s Democratic presidential primary next week.
The former vice president rolled out the endorsements from the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News, both of which cited his experience in the Obama administration and perceived ability to defeat President Trump in November.
“The nation, and our closely divided state, would be far better served by the succession of Joe Biden, whose four decades of experience in Congress and the West Wing have uniquely prepared him to meet the challenges awaiting the next president,” wrote the Detroit Free Press.
“Democratic voters consistently tell pollsters their priority in the presidential primaries is nominating a candidate who can beat President Donald Trump this fall. Of the contenders who remain in the race heading into Tuesday's Michigan balloting, Joe Biden best meets that criteria. In fact, the former vice president may be the only one who can fulfill the Democratic desire to deny Trump a second term,” the Detroit News's endorsement said.
The endorsements come days before the Wolverine State’s primary, which will allocate 125 pledged delegates. It is the heftiest delegate haul of six states that will cast ballots on Tuesday.
