PROVIDENCE, R.I (WLNE) – As mail ballots in Rhode Island’s primary start to arrive in mailboxes across the Ocean State, U.S Senators Sheldon Whitehouse, and Jack Reed, along with Congressman Jim Langevin and Cicilline, endorsed Joe Biden for President.

The Rhode Island Delegation cited Biden’s skill, steady leadership, and ability to spearhead what they say is an economic rescue that uplifts all Americans.

Senator Reed said Joe Biden “is a tireless champion for working Americans.”

“I’ve had the privilege of serving with Joe and traveling with him to war zones. I’ve seen firsthand Joe’s steady leadership and statesmanship. I’m proud to call Joe my friend. But more importantly, I hope to call him ‘Mr. President’ because Joe Biden is the thoughtful, selfless, resilient leader America needs. Elections are about looking forward and Joe has a positive vision to uplift people, communities, and our country. Our nation can and should be doing so much better and President Biden will help Americans come together to build a brighter, healthier future,” Reed continued.

“The past two months have starkly demonstrated why our country needs and experience, kind and principled leader whose primary motivation is improving the lives of working people,” said Senator White House.

“Vice President Biden offers bold ideas to better our nation, unite Americans and help them persevere through this challenging time. I am committed to working with my colleagues to see that our Democratic nominee wins and restores steady, dignified and compassionate leadership to the White House that is focused on improving the lives of all who call this great nation home”, said Congressman Langevin.

Congressman Cicilline noted what he thinks is America’s decline and respect around the world.

“Joe Biden will give our country the steady and principled leadership we need. He understands the struggles of American families and, as President, he will be a champion for the middle class, as he has been his whole life. I’m proud to endorse him. I look forward to doing whatever I can to make sure Joe Biden wins this election”, said Cicilline.

Residents are reminded that the state primary is set for Tuesday, June 2.
