Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden Friday, days before the state’s March 10 presidential primary.

In a live CNN interview, Gilchrist said he believed Biden would build off the blueprint he and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer laid in 2018 by focusing on issues like infrastructure, healthcare, education and environmental protection to defeat sitting president Donald Trump. Trump won Michigan by a slim margin in the 2016 election.

“Donald Trump’s agenda has been dangerous and backwards-looking, but it’s time for us to move forward, and I believe that Joe Biden is the right person to lead us forward,” he said.

Gilchrist’s endorsement comes a day after Whitmer announced she’d be endorsing Joe Biden for president and join his campaign as one of four national co-chairs.

As of Friday morning, three Democratic candidates remain in the race: Biden, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

Biden’s prospects of securing the nomination were in doubt after losing the first three primary states, but he decisively won South Carolina last weekend, kicking off a comeback tour that produced victories in nine of 14 states voting on Super Tuesday.

Biden’s resurgence reshapes the dynamics of Michigan’s primary, where Sanders had been expected to secure a repeat of his 2016 primary victory.

Both Biden and Sanders will be in Michigan ahead of the primary. Sanders is scheduled to headline several events throughout the weekend. Amy Klobuchar and John Kerry will be stumping for Biden this weekend, and Biden is expected to attend a fundraiser and public rally Monday.
