Former Iowa Gov. Chet Culver endorses Joe Biden for president.....Go Joe 😎 ,,,Wow

Former Iowa Gov. Chet Culver is endorsing Joe Biden for president, saying he believes Biden can win the general election in November.
"I think that’s arguably the toughest job Iowans have is to figure out which candidate is best positioned to defeat Donald Trump," Culver told the Des Moines Register in an interview Thursday. "And I believe Joe Biden is that candidate."
Biden, a former vice president, is one of the leading candidates hoping to pull off a win in the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses, which kick off the Democratic presidential nominating process.
Culver, a Democrat, was Iowa's governor from 2007 to 2011 and previously served as Iowa's secretary of state from 1999 to 2007.
He now runs the Chet Culver Group, a consulting firm that focuses on renewable energy and infrastructure. He lives in West Des Moines.
Culver recalled "working shoulder to shoulder" with Biden when Biden was vice president to secure federal aid for flood recovery in Cedar Rapids after devastating flooding in 2008


Biden has spoken recently on the campaign trail about campaigning in Iowa for Culver's father, former U.S. Sen. John Culver, in the 1970s. The elder Culver served in the U.S. Senate with Biden from 1975 to 1981. He died in 2018.
Culver said he's known Biden most of his life thanks to his father's close friendship with his former senate colleague.
"Throughout my father’s life he continued to stay in touch with his friend Joe Biden, and so I had several opportunities over the years to get to know him and his sons and his wife very well. And I really have always valued his friendship, and I know my father did as well," Culver said


Keep them coming Joe....😎
