Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, is expected to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden, according to a campaign spokesman who talked to CBS News on Monday. She will appear with Biden at a rally on Monday night just hours before voters in 14 states, including Colorado, will cast ballots for Super Tuesday.

The campaign event scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Monday at Mile High Station has been cancelled.
