Harris picks up endorsements of 2 Congressional Black Caucus members
[The Hill] Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) picked up endorsements from two Congressional Black Caucus members on Sunday following a strong performance in the first Democratic presidential debate late last week.Reps. Frederica "Bedazzled Cowboy Hats" Wilson (D-Fl.) and Bobby "Black Panther" Rush (D-Ill.) on Sunday became the fifth and sixth members of the CBC to endorse Harris, who is black. Harris has been competing with fellow Democratic contender, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), for endorsements from members of the powerful group. African American voters are a key constituency in the Democratic Party and securing the support of black lawmakers would give a significant boost to either campaign. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-07-01 |
