“Secretary Clinton is the best choice for President by far, and I am honored to endorse her. Hillary has strength, compassion and a sense of responsibility to care for others that is second to none,” he added.

“She has what it takes to connect with a diverse group of voters across the country and will fight to motivate and unite people behind her, which will benefit all Democrats come November.”
