Congressional Black Caucus to formally endorse Clinton on Thursday

[Rose Siding]

The Congressional Black Caucus is rushing to defend Hillary Clinton, following what many black lawmakers said was an expected loss in New Hampshire but one that should not hurt her in the next round of voting.

On Thursday morning, the CBC’s leaders will appear at the Democratic National Committee to formally endorse Clinton for president, through the CBC political action committee. The group will then disburse its African-American lawmakers to states where black voters are crucial, particularly in South Carolina’s Democratic primary on Feb. 27.

“It’s one thing to endorse and do nothing. It’s another thing to endorse and to go to work,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), chairman of the CBC PAC. These lawmakers are, Meeks said, “people that can actually testify [to] the work that Hillary Clinton has done.”

4. I posted this in LBN just now before checking this group ...

I hope you don't mind. I heard Andrea Mitchell say it (quickly, under her breath) at the conclusion of her report on the evening news tonight and checked online to confirm.

I loved Rep. Meeks quote.

Apparently talking to BW is like going on safari to middle-aged white people: dangerous + requiring much preparation @buzzLA @ZerlinaMaxwell
