Congressional Hispanic Caucus campaign arm endorses Biden

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s (CHC) campaign arm endorsed Joe Biden’s White House bid on Friday, giving the former vice president a boost as he works to expand his appeal among Latino voters.

The endorsement from CHC BOLD PAC comes as Biden steams toward the Democratic Party’s 2020 nomination. While he’s gained a virtually insurmountable delegate lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with a coalition of white, black and older voters, the former vice president has not polled as highly among Hispanics.

“BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Vice President Joe Biden for President. We know Joe leads with his head and his heart and that on day one he will work to bring Americans together and turn the page on Trump’s divisive and hateful politics,” said Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.), chairman of the CHC BOLD PAC.

The endorsement was made after the political action committee met with several presidential candidates, most of whom have since withdrawn from the race.

This happened four days ago, but it was also announced yesterday that the same BOLD PAC released additional endorsements.

Hispanic Caucus campaign arm unveils non-Hispanic endorsements

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus's (CHC) campaign arm, Bold PAC, announced a slate of non-Hispanic House endorsements on Tuesday, including six Democratic challengers and six incumbents.

Bold PAC, whose primary mission is to grow the size of the CHC, mostly endorses Hispanic Democrats in the general election, but also throws its weight behind a group of non-Hispanic allies every cycle.

"While BOLD PAC Members are focused on electing Latino leaders to Congress, we are also doing our part to protect and expand our Democratic majority in the House of Representatives," said Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.), the chairman of Bold PAC.

"By endorsing these candidates, we are continuing to build on the diverse coalition that helped Democrats take back the House in 2018," he added.

1. Bernie it is time to get out.

Let us focus on Trump, beating him like a drum on the air, in interviews in ads. We can't focus with your distractions.

2. Whoa, Chuy Garcia?

He's not my rep, but has been a big Sanders guy for a long time.

3. Raul Grijalva was his first Congressional endorser in 2016.

8. True. Garcia is in the district next to mine.

And the loser Dan Lipinski to the south.
