A popular
Democratic congresswoman from Iowa endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential bid on Thursday, a move that could help him gain backing in the state weeks before voters there hold the first nominating contest.
U.S. Representative Abby Finkenauer became the first Democrat among the state's House delegation to endorse a candidate.
Biden traveled to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 2018 to campaign for Finkenauer, who defeated incumbent
Republican Rod Blum by 5 points as part of a blue wave in which
Democrats flipped two of the state’s four House seats.
