Thanedar Becomes First Indian American Congressman to Back Biden After Debate Setback

In a major boost for former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential bid, Congressman Andy Thanedar has become the first Indian American member of Congress to endorse his candidacy. Thanedar's endorsement comes just days after Biden faced criticism for a poor performance in the Democratic presidential debate.
Thanedar, a Democrat from Michigan, announced his endorsement in a video message posted on Twitter. In the video, he praised Biden's "steady hand" and "experience" as a leader.
"Joe Biden is the right person to lead our country," Thanedar said. "He has the experience, the temperament, and the character to bring our country together and get things done."
Thanedar's endorsement is a significant boost for Biden, who has been struggling to gain traction in the Democratic primary race. Biden has been criticized for a lack of energy and focus on the campaign trail, and his performance in the debate on Wednesday night did little to dispel those concerns.
However, Thanedar's endorsement may help to shore up support for Biden among Indian American voters, a key demographic in the upcoming election. Indian Americans are the second-largest Asian American group in the United States, and they have a strong history of political engagement.
In the 2016 election, Indian American voters overwhelmingly supported Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Biden hopes to replicate that support in 2020, and Thanedar's endorsement could help him to do just that.
Thanedar is a self-made businessman and philanthropist. He founded the Detroit-based chemical company Sakti3 in 2008. He is also the founder of the non-profit organization Advantage Health, which provides medical care to uninsured and underinsured patients in Michigan.
Thanedar's decision to endorse Biden was not made lightly. He said that he was impressed by Biden's "compassion, empathy, and ability to connect with people."
"Joe Biden is a unifier, not a divider," Thanedar said. "He is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump and bring our country together."
Thanedar's endorsement is a welcome boost for Biden, who is facing a tough battle in the Democratic primary. Biden's campaign has been hampered by concerns about his age and stamina, as well as his ability to connect with voters.
However, Thanedar's endorsement suggests that Biden may still have a path to victory. Thanedar is a respected figure in the Indian American community, and his endorsement could help to sway the votes of many Indian American voters.
The Democratic primary race is still in its early stages, and it is far too early to say who will ultimately emerge as the nominee. However, Thanedar's endorsement is a reminder that Biden is still a force to be reckoned with.
