A former Central Illinois Republican Congressman says he's supporting former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 Presidential Election.

Former Peoria Republican congressman, Ray LaHood's decision, comes as his son, Congressman Darin LaHood, serves as the co-chair of President Donald Trump's reelection campaign in Illinois.

Darin LaHood says it's easier to support a candidate when you're no longer serving in office.

Ray LaHood served as the U.S. Secretary of Transportation from 2009-2013 under the Obama Administration, where he worked with Joe Biden.
