DES MOINES, Iowa - In endorsing Democrat Joe Biden for president on Saturday, former Iowa Gov. Vilsack was cheered by the more than 300 who attended the morning rally at an event hall in Des Moines. It’s been 18 years since he won reelection, and he remains the only Democrat reelected Iowa governor in more than 50 years. The centrist Midwesterner, who shares Pennsylvania roots with Biden, was twice on Democrats’ short list for presidential running mate, in 2004 and 2016. “I could start naming people, but the press will think that’s who I picked,” Biden said, noting it was premature.
