Biden announces endorsements from Puerto Rico politicians

Biden for President campaign entity announced 25 new endorsements from elected officials, party leaders and several candidates who are running for public office in Puerto Rico. The campaign also announced that former governor
Alejandro García Padilla, former Sen. Zoé Laboy, Senate majority leader Carmelo Ríos and House minority leader Rafael “Tatito” Hernández will serve as co-chairs of the Leadership Committee of the Biden campaign in Puerto Rico.

This group, the largest bipartisan group of Puerto Rican endorsements in a primary election, includes officials from both the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) and the New Progressive Party (NPP), which further demonstrates the unifying power of Joe Biden’s vision for the United States and his mission to restore the soul of the nation, said the campaign in a press release.

“We are honored to have the support and leadership of these public servants, and we are excited to announce the co-chairs of the Leadership Committee of the Biden campaign, to ensure that Puerto Ricans have a voice in these presidential elections,” said Greg Schultz, Biden for President campaign director, in written communication.

“After catastrophic hurricanes devastated the communities and infrastructure of the island, Trump has done nothing for Puerto Rico except making fun of them and throwing paper towels at the crowd. Today’s list of endorsements is emblematic of the island’s need to have a friend and an ally in the White House, and the people of Puerto Rico know that Joe Biden will be that president,” he added.

There are 1.2 million Puerto Ricans in Florida now and 5.1 million in the US. Are these officials endorsements worth less than some celebrity such as Arianna Grande? I'm more likely to consider the endorsements of people who are knowledgeable about government and politics than someone who doesn't have that expertise.
