WASHINGTON _ Joe Biden on Monday received the endorsement of NARAL Pro-Choice America, a progressive advocacy group that supports abortion rights, the latest indication of how the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is consolidating support from a community of activists who once viewed his candidacy skeptically.
NARAL president Ilyse Hogue told McClatchy the endorsement was an easy decision, citing the existential threat the organization thinks President Donald Trump poses and Biden's own public pledges to unequivocally support abortion rights.
"We've had awesome and robust conversations with the campaign," Hogue said in an interview. "I think, collectively, we're clear-eyed about the work that needs to be done."
