The second-highest ranking Democrat in the Georgia state Senate on Tuesday switched his endorsement from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Sen. Bernie Sanders.
In making the change, state Sen. Vincent Fort cited Sanders' positions on health care, Wall Street reform, and the minimum wage, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's report.
"After months of looking at Bernie's record and studying his positions on healthcare, Wall Street, predatory lending and the minimum wage, I came to the conclusion that Bernie's position on the issues that affect my constituents in Georgia the most conform most closely to my positions," Fort said.
Fort predicted that as more people learned about Sanders they would throw their support his way.
"As people have a chance to listen to him, to have a chance to understand that he’s speaking to the issues that are the most critical," Fort said, according to the Georgia newspaper.
