Lori Lightfoot, Chicago's first black woman elected mayor, backed Joe Biden today, despite her reservations about the former VP

CHICAGO — Lori Lightfoot, the city's first black woman elected mayor, threw her support to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign Friday, after months of talking about the race from the sidelines and despite her reservations about the former vice president.

The mayor leads the nation's third-largest city and hasn’t always been on board with Biden. In an interview with POLITICO last year, Lightfoot said the former vice presidentfor how Anita Hill was treated when she testified before Congress during Clarence Thomas’ Supreme Court confirmation hearings nearly three decades ago. Biden, a senator at the time, chaired the hearings.

Rep. Bobby Rush hasn’t announced who he’s backing since his candidate, Mike Bloomberg, exited the race. And freshman Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood, whose swing district supported Donald Trump in 2016, has said she would stay neutral.

She can do that, but the important ones are the delegates, right?
