Rep. Wexton endorses Joe Biden before Virginia primary...Go Joe.....😎🎨

Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.) on Sunday endorsed former vice president Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination, changing her decision to stay neutral in the race two days before the Virginia primary on Super Tuesday.
Wexton won her Northern Virginia district in 2018, turning the seat blue for the first time in 38 years and helping Democrats win control of the House.
“Throughout this campaign, Joe has proven that he is the steady, empathetic leader we need to unite our party and our country. I will proudly be casting my vote for Joe Biden this Tuesday,” she said in a statement provided to The Washington Post by the Biden campaign

so I can empathize with her wanting to keep her seat this November with a less controversial Dem on top of the ticket.

GOP doesn't worry about this problem. They don't feel having a steaming pile of bull manure at the top of the ticket loses swing house districts or senate seats.
