Now that Hillary Clinton has won the New York democratic primary decisively, using the state to widen her massive delegate lead and popular vote lead at a time when Bernie Sanders desperately needed to pull off an upset in order to justify the continued existence of his campaign, the question has surfaced: how many democrats and liberals will now defect from Team Bernie to Team Hillary this week? It turns out one prominent Sanders supporter is already doing just that.

“The political revolution Bernie Sanders began (or more accurately, uncovered) is not over,” declared political operative Christopher Nikhil Bowen late last night. “However, his campaign as a true contender to be our party’s nominee, is.” This is notable because Bowen used to work for Bernie Sanders. He’s from Vermont and he was an intern for Senator Sanders back in college. He goes on to explain that he’s still a big fan of Bernie, but he now believes that Hillary is the path forward in the general election and a much preferable choice over any of the 2016 republicans due to her favorable stances on a number of issues.

In Christopher Nikhil Bowen’s words: “I cannot afford a Republican presidency, we cannot afford to go back. I refuse to go back. Stand with me friends as we press forward for a better America with Hillary Clinton. I have endorsed Hillary Clinton for President tonight, and I urge you to do the same!” Read his full endorsement.
