{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Comedian Mel Brooks has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for president in the 2020 election.
In a video posted Wednesday on Twitter by the actor's son, Max, Brooks explains why he's throwing his support behind the Democratic nominee.
"My father, @MelBrooks, is 94. He has never made a political video. Until now," Max wrote. In the short video, Max and his son are standing behind glass doors as Mel sits inside alone.

Because of this coronavirus and Donald Trump’s not doing a damn thing about it,” he says. “So many people have died, and when you’re dead you can't do much. So I’m voting for Joe Biden.”
