Former Vice President Joe Biden has picked up an endorsement from yet another former Democratic rival.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Monday endorsed Biden for president, saying the former vice president "won't only win — he'll show there's more that unites us than divides us." In an email to supporters, Booker also said that "while I'm no longer running for president, I still know that to win, Democrats need a nominee who understands that the way to beat Donald Trump is to bring people together."
