Former Vice President Joe Biden has picked up a crowd of new endorsements in California — including five former backers of Sen. Kamala Harris, POLITICO has learned. “These new supporters represent the growing momentum for Joe Biden across the country as we approach Super Tuesday,’’ Jessica Mejía, California state director of Biden’s campaign, said in an email statement to POLITICO. ”Voters around the state know Joe’s track record of delivering for California families … and moving our country forward from Trump’s failed presidency.”

Among Biden’s new California backers: State Sens. Bill Dodd, Cathleen Galgiani and Anthony Portantino; Assembly members Ken Cooley and Al Muratsuchi; Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacy; Art Torres, former state senator and former chair of the California Democratic Party; LA Community College District Board of Trustees president Andra Hoffman; Neysa Fligor, Los Altos City vice mayor; Maria Morales, El Monte City Council member; Denise Menchaca, San Gabriel City Council member; and Robert Gin, Alhambra Unified School District board member.

Former Vice President Joe Biden picked up two dozen endorsements from local office-holders in Texas and California on Tuesday who had previously backed their home-state candidates, Julián Castro (Texas) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who have since dropped out of the presidential race.

Biden’s campaign touted support from 11 figures in Texas, nine of whom supported Castro before he ended his bid last week. The campaign also announced new support from 13 leaders in California.

Texas and California, the two most populous states in the nation, are among the Super Tuesday states that will hold nominating contests on March 3.

The 11 new endorsements in Texas build on Biden’s previously announced 16 endorsements in the state. They include nods from five members of the Texas state House: Rafael Anchia, Ryan Gullien, Eddie Lucio III, Oscar Longoria and Armando Martinez.

Biden was also backed by Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, Bexar County Commissioner Justin Rodriguez, former State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, lawyer Frank Herrera, former foreign diplomat Cecilia Herrera and San Antonio School District board member Debra Guerrero.

The endorsements in California include nods from three state senators — Bill Dodd, Cathleen Galgiani and Anthony Portantino — as well as two state Assembly members, Ken Cooley and Al Muratsuchi.
