Joe Bidens presidential campaign announced a new round of endorsements on Tuesday as the former vice president tries to bolster his status as the Democrats presidential front-runner. He heralded support from four South Carolina state legislators, including two African Americans, Rep. Carl Anderson and Sen. Kevin Johnson.
Their backing comes as Biden faces criticism from rival Democratic candidates for recent comments in which said the Senate got things done with civility even when the body included segregationists with whom he disagreed. Biden and others are competing aggressively for an edge with black voters who make up a majority of the Democratic primary electorate in South Carolina, home of the first Southern primary in 2020.
Biden also won endorsements from half a dozen Democratic figures from eastern Iowa, including four former city, county and union officials, in the first-voting caucus state.
His campaign also listed support from five state legislators and union officials from Utah and 11 current and former Democratic officials in Arizona.

"With most of the two dozen Democrats running for president in 2020 set to hold their first debates this week, former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign released new endorsements from four states on Tuesday, including Utah.
"No other presidential candidate can help our down ballot folks more," said one of the five Utahns on the list, Wayne Holland, a former Utah Democratic Party chairman who expects to head the Utah for Biden campaign.
"People view him as likable and trustworthy. Biden has just been 'Uncle Joe' forever," he said. "He just has a way to make people comfortable, and I think Utah Democrats and independents have the perception he has been ready to go on day 1."
