The BOLD PAC’s endorsement of President Joe Biden isn’t exactly what it may seem.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ political arm threw its weight behind Biden on Friday, giving the president much-needed support as more and more Democratic lawmakers call for him to step aside.

But the group’s decision to endorse Biden was actually made weeks ago — prior to the debate performance that triggered Democrats across the party to call for the president’s withdrawal, a source told NOTUS.
