Nina Turner changes her mind on Hillary Clinton, endorses Bernie Sanders for president!!! [View all]
Nina Turner, the former state senator from Cleveland and a top Ohio Democratic Party official, is ditching Hillary Clinton in favor of Bernie Sanders.
Turner and Sanders' presidential campaign confirmed the endorsement Thursday.
"I'm very attracted by his message and his style and that he has held pretty much strong on his beliefs and the world is catching up with him," Turner said. She added that Sanders' positions on voting rights and wage increases have stood out to her.
Turner spoke to cleveland.com by telephone before flying to Iowa, where she will attend Saturday night's Democratic debate featuring Clinton, Sanders and Martin O'Malley.
She also will introduce Sanders at his Monday night rally at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center. The independent Vermont senator, who describes himself as a democratic socialist, has emerged as Clinton's strongest Democratic primary rival.
