Former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 race on Thursday.

“I believe Joe Biden is the President our country desperately needs right now, not because I’ve known Joe so long, but because I know Joe so well,” Kerry said in a statement transmitted through the Biden campaign.
