Jones backs Biden for president, sparking criticism from ALGOP
Sen. Doug Jones, D-Alabama, quickly endorsed his longtime friend and former Vice President Joe Biden for president Thursday, just hours after Biden announced his plans to run for the Democratic Party nomination in 2020.
Jones said on Twitter Thursday he would be supporting Bidens campaign.
The quality that makes Joe stand out is his ability to bring people together to find common ground while standing up for what he believes is right. We need to listen to each other & get things done for working people. Joe can, and will, do that. Thats why I support Joe Biden.

Biden formally joined a crowded field of Democratic hopefuls Thursday, posting a video to his social media account announcing the campaign. Biden was quick to hit President Donald Trump for his response to the deadly clashes between white supremacists and counter-protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.
Biden said Trumps comments about there being very fine people on both sides were what solidified his decision to run for president for the third time. He ran first in 1988 and again in 2008.
