Moulton also said that Biden “can bring together the Democratic Party’s winning coalition from the Obama years.”
“He can also appeal to moderates, independents and Republicans who are disillusioned with Trump’s behavior,” he added.
The Massachusetts representative, who has been in office since 2015, also pointed to Biden’s foreign policy experience.
“In this complicated time at home and around the world, Joe Biden has the experience and judgment not just to win in November, but to lead our nation after he does—by fighting for opportunity, equality, and security like he’s done his whole career,” he said in a statement to The Hill.
Moulton said in his statement to The Hill that Biden was the first person to hold a rally for him during his campaign for Congress. He said he will go to Iowa and New Hampshire to campaign for Biden ahead of voting in both states next month.
