WASHINGTON, D.C. - Warrensville Heights Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge on Monday endorsed the presidential campaign of former Vice President Joe Biden, citing his longtime support for “working families and unions, civil rights and voting rights, justice and opportunity.”

“Our nation is at a crossroads: divided, disillusioned, and full of distrust, with more and more of our fellow citizens left behind," said a statement from Fudge. “Democrats have to pick a winner who can heal the discord and build a more just and inclusive future – and who will, first and foremost, get Donald Trump out of the White House and out of our lives.”

Fudge’s endorsement was among several that Biden’s campaign rolled out Monday to build momentum for the Super Tuesday primaries in 14 states, where roughly a third of Democratic National Convention delegates will be awarded. Other Biden endorsements revealed Monday included former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, former U.S. Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado, former Cincinnati mayor Mark Mallory and current U.S. House of Representatives members Gil Cisneros of California and Veronica Escobar of Texas.

Fudge, a former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, endorsed California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris last year. But Harris dropped out of the race in December after deciding she had no path to the nomination.

A Biden campaign news release said Fudge is the 21st black caucus member to back Biden. The campaign said Biden has notched more than 1,400 endorsements from national, state and local leaders.

“I believe in Joe’s policies; and I believe in his character and humanity, the cornerstones of the kind of healing leadership that our country so badly needs," said Fudge’s endorsement statement. "But above all, I believe in winning – because that’s where all paths forward to every other big thing we want to do start. And I know that in states like mine – with red districts and blue districts and a lot of purple in between – Joe is the one candidate who can win across the board.”

Biden’s other Ohio endorsements include Niles-area Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan, who announced his backing shortly after abandoning his own presidential bid. Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, former congressman Edward Feighan, Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein, former Columbus City Council member Mary Jo Hudson, State Senator Hearcel Craig, and Youngstown Mayor Tito Brown also back Biden.

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Ohio backers include Akron mayor Dan Horrigan and former Columbus mayor Michael Coleman. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Ohio backers include Newburgh Heights mayor Trevor Elkins, and former Ohio state senators CJ Prentiss and Nina Turner, who is a national campaign co-chair.

Ohio’s primary is on March 17.
