Monday turned out to be a huge day for former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign, which was flatlining beforehand. Biden received the endorsements of Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, both of whom exited the race ahead of Super Tuesday.
The only way we beat Trump is through a politics that reflects the decency of the American people. It’s what we sought to practice in my campaign—and it’s what @JoeBiden has practiced his whole life.

Thanks to the hard work of our team, we built a campaign that believes in bringing people together and defied expectations every step of the way. One thing is for certain: we will continue to build a coalition to win in Novembr.

See you tonight, Dallas!
Former Vice President Biden also received the endorsement of once-rising star of the Democratic Party, Beto O’Rourke:
News: There is a third former candidate endorsing @JoeBiden tonight

It’s @BetoORourke https://t.co/XZxCmgSDWi
O'Rourke was once viewed as the Democratic Party's young all-star during his bid for the Senate against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and during O'Rourke's attempt at the Democratic nomination for president. Both bids ultimately failed. O'Rourke's endorsement comes on the eve of Super Tuesday, with Biden still trailing Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) in most Texas polls:

Super Tuesday is shaping up to be an interesting contest between former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and former Mayor of New York City Mike Bloomberg still remaining in the race.
