Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan Endorses Joe Biden For President

Huffington Post

“He visited multiple times,” Duggan said of Biden. “He cares deeply about the city and auto industry and auto workers. Joe Biden has a whole career of watching out for the working class in this country.”

Biden welcomed the endorsement, saying he was “incredibly honored” to have Duggan’s backing.

“Michigan, and Detroit in particular, will be crucial to defeating Donald Trump and restoring the soul of our nation, and I look forward to meeting firsthand with voters over the coming months to make the case,” Biden said in a statement.

Duggan endorsed and campaigned for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. He also plans to campaign for Biden.

“He visited multiple times,” Duggan said of Biden. “He cares deeply about the city and auto industry and auto workers. Joe Biden has a whole career of watching out for the working class in this country.”

Michigan, and Detroit in particular, will be crucial to defeating Donald Trump and restoring the soul of our nation, and I look forward to meeting firsthand with voters over the coming months to make the case,” Biden said in a statement.

I’m going to do whatever he asks me to do,”said Duggan, who is in his second term and Detroit’s first white mayor since the 1970s.

Detroit is about 80% African American. Michigan gave Trump his closest winning margin of any state, with the Republican finishing 10,704 votes ahead of Clinton.

Mahalo, Mayor Mike Duggan.. I like this guy!
