In a surprising move California Governor Jerry Brown has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President:
Hillary Clinton has convincingly made the case that she knows how to get things done and has the tenacity and skill to advance the Democratic agenda. Voters have responded by giving her approximately 3 million more votes – and hundreds more delegates – than Sanders. If Clinton were to win only 10 percent of the remaining delegates – wildly improbable – she would still exceed the number needed for the nomination. In other words, Clinton’s lead is insurmountable and Democrats have shown – by millions of votes – that they want her as their nominee.
Governor Brown praises the Sanders campaign, and points out that he had a similar run against Bill Clinton in 1992. That run, and the bitterness it engendered, is what makes this endorsement surprising.
