Former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros is throwing his support behind Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination for president.
In an interview on Friday, Cisneros said Biden has the best experience to help heal the nation after President Donald Trumps tenure in the White House.
The clearest path to a return to civil discourse, a return to due process and a return to rational decision-making, is to help Joe Biden win, the 72-year-old Cisneros said.
Cisneros, who was the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 1993 to 1997 under former President Bill Clinton, said he worked with Biden when he was in Washington and knows he brings a fundamental decency that the country badly needs right now.
Joe Biden has that, and thats what this country really needs, Cisneros said.
Cisneros said hes making such a late endorsement because originally he supported Julián Castro for the Democratic nomination. After Castro dropped out, he said Biden called him to ask for his endorsement.
Cisneros said there are other good candidates in the race, but he feels that Biden has both the best chance of winning the nomination and winning the White House against Trump.
The endorsement comes with Texas just 46 days away from voting in the presidential primary on March 3.
Go Joe....
