Richard Cordray, former CFPB head and Warren ally, endorses Joe Biden

Richard Cordray, the former head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and a close ally to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), threw his support to Joe Biden on Saturday, saying he thinks the former vice president is the best choice to beat President Trump and bring the country together.

“I know that he was very aligned and very supportive in our work to protect the middle class,” Cordray told The Washington Post. Cordray said that during his time in public service, including at the CFPB, he worked with Biden on issues including student loan debt and home mortgages.

Cordray also said he thinks Biden is “uniquely positioned” to be the leader “who can help unify this country again at a time when it’s deeply divided.”
Though Cordray ran for governor in Ohio, he is hardly a household name. But his nod may send a signal about where Warren’s circle — and perhaps where Warren — will land when deciding whether to back Biden or his liberal rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
