Former president Joe Biden is stepping back into electoral politics, endorsing the ex-Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms for Georgia governor in one of his most direct political moves since leaving the White House.
The endorsement gives Bottoms, a longtime Biden ally and former White House adviser, a high-profile boost in a crowded Democratic primary for one of the most closely watched governor's races of 2026. It also offers an early test of whether Biden, now outside the presidency, can still move voters, donors, and party leaders in a battleground state that helped define his political legacy.
