Hilda Solis, first Latina Cabinet secretary, endorses Biden for president

BY BO ERICKSON, ED O'KEEFE

UPDATED ON: JUNE 1, 2019 / 9:37 AM / CBS NEWS

As many of the 2020 Democratic candidates descended on San Francisco for the state's party convention, former Vice President Joe Biden — who skipped the convention — picked up a new endorsement, former Labor secretary and current Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis.

"I have seen firsthand what true leadership requires," Solis, who was the first Latina Cabinet member when she served in the Obama administration from 2009 to 2013, said in a statement to CBS News. "At this moment in American history, it is clear that Joe Biden has all the qualities that the American people need in the White House."

California is a new battleground for Democrats since the delegate-rich state will vote on Super Tuesday, earlier than in previous year's primary process. This weekend's convention is the largest gathering of Democratic presidential candidates so far this year with at least 14 slated to appear. Biden, however, is planning to speak at a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Columbus, Ohio.

Sen. Kamala Harris, flexing her home state popularity, announced Friday that 33 Democrats in California's Assembly — a majority of Democrats — are supporting her. But Harris' California colleague, longtime Sen. Dianne Feinstein, has already stated her support for Biden.

same with Warren.

bidens it's experience.

but any Democrat will win states they are from.

i think Beto is the only one where having him as candidate will put his state into play which otherwise wouldn't be the case.

Prior to his ousting... He would be the star of the show now.. I wanted him there way more than Harris , Warren, Booker, Sanders, Gillibrand, Schumer. I speak for myself, but I am positive I am not alone...

As much as I like Beto… He is not happening for President in 2020. That's my opinion. As for Warren... Al Franken would do as well or better doing that..
