(Bloomberg) -- Former presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke will endorse Joe Biden for president, the New York Times reports.
O’Rourke, a former Texas congressman, would join a string of recent high-profile Democrats who’ve backed Biden since he won the South Carolina primary in a bid to unify the party behind the former vice president and slow the trajectory of Bernie Sanders.
(Disclaimer: Michael Bloomberg is also seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. He is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.)
