The mayor of Atlanta is endorsing Democrat Joe Biden for president in 2020, providing crucial support from a high-profile black female political leader.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms spoke to The Associated Press ahead of her scheduled Friday announcement. Bottoms says her decision came down to Bidens experience and her belief the former vice president is the candidate best positioned to beat President Donald Trump.
For me, it was most important that we have a president who doesnt have to walk in the door and figure out where the light switch is, that we have somebody who can lead on Day One, said Bottoms, who attended Thursday nights debate as a guest of Bidens wife, Jill.
The endorsement comes the morning after a powerful exchange between Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris, the only black woman in the campaign. Harris sharply criticized Biden for his comments about working with segregationists and his past opposition to busing.
