Joe Biden rolled out more than a dozen new congressional endorsements for his White House bid after the he further solidified his primary lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with wins in key states on Tuesday night.

The endorsements, including from several lawmakers who previously backed former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, came after the former vice president trounced Sanders in Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi and Missouri, padding his delegate lead in the race. Sanders took North Dakota, while Washington state’s primary is still too close to call.

The support rolled in from Democratic Reps. Pete Aguilar (Calif.), Josh Gottheimer (N.J.), Raja Krishnamoorthi (Ill.), Nita Lowey (N.Y.), Lucy McBath (Ga.), Gregory Meeks (N.Y.), Donald Norcross (N.J.), Bill Pascrell (N.J.), Scott Peters (Calif.), Max Rose (N.Y.), Bobby Rush (Ill.), Mikie Sherrill (N.J.) and Juan Vargas (Calif.), as well as Stacey Plaskett, the congressional delegate for the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The lawmakers cited Biden’s perceived electability against President Trump in November and his ability to unite the country.

“Defeating Donald Trump and replacing his inept and corrupt government is our highest priority. I believe the candidate who can best win in November, deliver victories up and down the ballot, and fight for expansion of our health care, reversing climate change, and rebuilding our middle class is my friend Joe Biden,” said Pascrell.

1. Biden's Team has been really impressing me with the rollout and positioning of their endorsements

They have catapulted Biden to victory.

This is the kind of organization and skill we require in the Fall. It is a very good sign and a big relief after the herd of cats we were witnessing prior to South Carolina.
