More than a third of the Democrats in the Florida Legislature are endorsing Joe Biden for president, Politico is reporting.

The former vice president has picked up endorsements from 23 of the Legislature’s 64 Democrats. The number breaks down like this: 19 House members and four senators.

Rep. Joseph Geller from Broward County, a longtime Biden supporter, had gathered the endorsements on behalf of Biden over the last month.

“It’s a diverse list of supporters that without question shows his support here,” Geller told Politico. “Not only do I think he can win, but I think he can unite the factions of the Democratic Party.”

The International Association of Fire Fighters endorsed Biden on Monday, sparking some strong criticism from President Donald Trump.
