Harvard taps Gillum and Heitkamp for fellows program
By BENJAMIN WERMUND 01/17/2019 10:02 AM EST
Harvard University has tapped Andrew Gillum — a breakout Democratic star, despite losing his bid for Florida governor — for a spring fellowship.
Gillum, along with former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) and former Reps. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) and Carlos Cubelo (R-Fla.), will teach in the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics.
Gary Cohn, the former director of the National Economic Council during the early days of the Trump administration, was also named a spring fellow.
Gillum, a former Tallahassee mayor, is viewed as a likely 2020 kingmaker as Democratic presidential hopefuls will seek his endorsement, as well as his valuable volunteer and donor lists.
