A trio of House Democrats with military backgrounds, all elected since Donald Trump took office, endorsed Joe Biden on Sunday as he seeks to stress his national security credentials and his appeal in swing districts.

Representatives Conor Lamb and Chrissy Houlahan, both from Pennsylvania, and Elaine Luria of Virginia are backing the former vice president. Trump won Lamb and Luria’s districts in 2016, and Houlahan flipped her seat when she was elected in 2018.
