WASHINGTON, D.C. — Elizabeth Warren endorsed Joe Biden on Wednesday, becoming the last of the former vice president's major Democratic presidential rivals to formally back him.

Sanders, who suspended his campaign last week, endorsed Biden on Monday. A day later, former President Barack Obama announced his public backing of Biden.
