Hillary Clinton has thrown her support behind Cuyahoga County Council Representative Shontel Brown in a special House election in Ohio later this year, setting up a clash with progressives who have endorsed former state Sen. Nina Turner (D).

The former secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said she’s “proud” to endorse Brown in the race to replace Marcia Fudge, who vacated her Cleveland-area House seat earlier this year to become President Biden's Housing and Urban Development secretary.

“Shontel made history as the first Black woman to chair her county Dem party, and she'll work to help her state and our country recover from COVID,” Clinton said in a tweet Wednesday announcing her endorsement. “Join me in supporting her.”
