Former Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon on Sunday endorsed Michael Bloomberg for president ahead of the state’s March 10 primary, Bloomberg’s campaign said.

Nixon commended the former New York City mayor’s record on climate and noted his plans to find “real and lasting solutions” to clean energy, aging infrastructure and economic opportunity, Bloomberg’s campaign said in a news release.

“After viewing his impressive record and talking with him it is clear to me that Mike has the integrity, competence, compassion and capacity to lead our nation,” Nixon said in a statement. “His can-do attitude and pragmatic approach will connect with Missourians.”

I answered that I am still undecided although I supported Bernie in '16, I'm waiting for SC debates. I explained I am now a single-issue voter—beat Trump—and that I was interested in Mike until his terrible debate performance. I tried to engage on a couple of issues. Instead, the canvasser asked how I would be voting (mail) and, with a bit of attitude, if they could really count on me to do that. (During the entire interview, he appeared to be using his stylus without looking at his device.) If they hire non-supporting canvassers, they could at least give better training.

His last comment was, "So you're leaning toward Bernie." I said no, but he was already gone...
