North Carolina ‘superdelegate’ Pat Cotham endorses Sanders for Democratic nomination

Now that Hillary Clinton has become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, North Carolina “superdelegate” Pat Cotham has decided to endorse ... Bernie Sanders.

Cotham, a Mecklenburg County commissioner and a member of the Democratic National Committee, said she and her fellow Democrats have underestimated Donald Trump, the Republicans’ presumptive nominee. And in most polls, Cotham said, Clinton “is not as strong” against Trump as Sanders is.

Some Superdelegates will be looking to have it both ways now that the heat is off, after the fact.
