Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: Congressional Black Caucus endores Hillary [View all]DesertRat
(27,995 posts)10. And they are doing MORE than endorsing
Following the planned meeting with the Democratic National Committee to officially hand Clinton their nod, Caucus leaders will send their troops out into states where the black vote is a make-or-break situation to make sure that they have as much support for their candidate as possible. They are intensely focused on South Carolina, where getting the black vote out will definitely be a boost for whichever candidate takes that states primary. From the Washington Post:
Its one thing to endorse and do nothing. Its another thing to endorse and to go to work, said Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), chairman of the CBC PAC. These lawmakers are, Meeks said, people that can actually testify [to] the work that Hillary Clinton has done.
