Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, with the singer saying she doesn't want her kids to learn that it's "OK to be racist" from President Trump's administration. "For me, it's unifying the nation again, getting rid of this hate," Lopez said in a chat with the former vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, tweeted Friday by the Democratic presidential nominee.
