"I am moved by his compassion and ability to connect with people on the most human level," she said in the tweet.
The endorsement of Jayapal, who had previously backed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, signaled that the progressive wing of the Democratic Party has now lined up behind the former Vice President, said the American Bazaar report.
Sanders ended his campaign earlier this month after he lost Biden in the Wisconsin primary. He also endorsed the former Vice President on April 13.
