Clyburn Won’t Say Who He’s Supporting In South Carolina

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) says he has already decided who will get his vote in South Carolina’s Democratic presidential primary, the Columbia State reports.

“But he hasn’t decided whether he will tell voters his 2020 choice before the Feb. 29 contest — a move that would be tantamount to an endorsement.”

“His reticence is now causing some serious anxiety among the presidential campaigns eager to know whether the U.S. House majority whip — the highest-ranking black congressman and South Carolina’s most influential Democrat — will intervene with a consequential, perhaps game-changing endorsement in the final days before South Carolina Democrats head to the polls.”
