Without formally stating who they want him to endorse, Clyburn made clear that the most pressure came from Clinton supporters, particularly his wife and one of his daughters.

He acknowledged that the Congressional Black Caucus’s political action committee, chaired by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), has decided to endorse Clinton but is holding off making it formal out of deference to Clyburn as he considers his own decision.
