New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker endorsed Joe Biden for president on Monday, the latest high-profile supporter to back the former vice president.
"The answer to hatred & division is to reignite our spirit of common purpose. @JoeBiden won't only win - he'll show there's more that unites us than divides us," Booker tweeted. "He'll restore honor to the Oval Office and tackle our most pressing challenges. That's why I'm proud to endorse Joe."
Booker will join Biden for events in Flint, Michigan, and Detroit, a Biden campaign official told CNN.
Biden retweeted Booker's post Monday afternoon, saying he is "incredibly grateful" for the senator's endorsement. "Cory — Your leadership has given hope to so many and has inspired our nation to rise to meet the challenges of today," he said. "I'm incredibly grateful for your endorsement — and I look forward to working alongside you to unite the country and defeat Donald Trump."
Booker is the latest former 2020 rival to endorse Biden as he looks to consolidate establishment backing. The New Jersey senator's endorsement -- coming a day after California Sen. Kamala Harris offered her support -- will likely be cited by Biden ahead of critical primary elections on Tuesday. Recently, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who were among Biden's most notable challengers in the centrist lane of the Democratic field, also endorsed his candidacy.

The coveted Booker endorsement, said no one.
Finally, I can breathe again! Cory hath spoken.
This is YUGE and series
They are lining up like sheep dancing to the tugs from the puppet master!
The border wall that stops us from escaping is to unite us.
Well, it could help Biden. Rosario Dawson might vote for him now.
Spartacus joins the Biden bandwagon. Perhaps hoping to be fingered as the VP nominee?????
Hey Joe, if I back you what’$ in it for me?
Considering Booker (and Kamala) was laughing at Biden in a debate, because of demented statements by Biden....endorsement is ridiculous, but possibly lucrative in Booker Walkin’ Around Money.
Spartacus endorses Quasimoto.......excellent
It says a lot about there relative merits that Biden beat them weird behaviors and all.
Making sure he’s on the Veep list, who will become President if the unthinkable happens. No, not 25th amendment.
FARTICUS has endorsed!!!!!
You may all rise now. /s
All these phonies are looking for cabinet appointments or VP slots.
Wow, the DNC is handing out the dough and or the goodies, obviously.
"It's his turn."
“I’m the Biden endorser!”
“No, I’M the Biden endorser!”
“No, ME, I’M the Biden endorser!”
Biden already has the black vote, Spartacus, give it up. Get ready for Hillary, who has already said she’ll accept the VP spot, look it up.
Seriously, what's with people?
This goes along with calls to be bipartisan. Biden, for his entire career, was one of the most liberal/progressive member of the US Senate. I have little in common with him, in thought, word or deed. I don't want to be like him. I will oppose everything he and his mindless followers want.
I want to be divided from socialism. There is very little that unites us other than some basic biological functions and human emotions, which we can control and they cannot.
Liberal and progressive actually mean the opposite.
