Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) announced Friday she is endorsing Joe Biden for president, a boost for the former vice president ahead of Illinois’s March 17 primary.

“Today, I’m proud to endorse @JoeBiden for President. Joe is the best candidate to unite our country and move us past a presidency that has sought to divide us based on what we look like, what we believe, or who we love. He’s ready to lead and he’ll do it with passion and empathy,” Lightfoot tweeted.

Lightfoot is just the latest high-profile Democrat to back Biden, who has received an avalanche of endorsements from establishment figures following a 30-point rout in South Carolina and wins in 10 of 14 Super Tuesday states.

The Chicago mayor had previously considered supporting Mike Bloomberg for president, but the former New York City mayor dropped out of the race after a dismal Super Tuesday showing.
