Russ Feingold endorses Hillary Clinton

During the primary season, Democrat Russ Feingold remained neutral in the race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

But Thursday, Feingold finally hopped aboard the Clinton bandwagon with a formal endorsement of the Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee.

"I'm proud to endorse Hillary Clinton as our nominee and look forward to campaigning with her here in Wisconsin," said Feingold, who is in a tight race against Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson.

"She won a hard-fought campaign, she made history, and it's clear that she's ready to take on Donald Trump this fall and win," Feingold said. "I also congratulate Senator Sanders, who has done incredible work to build a movement behind essential issues for middle-class and working families."

Good to see Hillary garnering broad support from all over the political spectrum. That bodes well for a big victory in November.
