Joe Biden Endorses Josh Gottheimer For Congress

WYCKOFF, NJ — Congressman Josh Gottheimer has secured another big name endorsement, this time in the form of Democratic Presidential nominee, and former Vice President, Joe Biden.

On Thursday, a news release from the Gottheimer campaign confirmed the endorsement.

"Josh Gottheimer is a fighter, who has been tireless in his work to make healthcare more affordable, lower taxes, and support our veterans and first responders. When COVID hit, Josh worked to secure desperately-needed PPE for his District and to get New Jersey families, first responders, and small businesses the assistance they needed," said Biden.

"I'm proud to support Josh."

Gottheimer had already received an endorsement from former President Barack Obama, as well as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.

"I am honored to have Joe Biden supporting my campaign for reelection. Vice President Biden has spent his career working to strengthen America’s reputation at home and abroad, to expand access to affordable health care, and to support our first responders," said Gottheimer.

"He is someone who has always put helping the American people over partisan concerns. I look forward to working closely with Vice President Biden when he is elected President."

Gottheimer is running for re-election against Republican challenger Frank Pallotta.
