This Candidate Just Got a Major
Boost
Democratic Socialist challenger Bernie Sanders
just stole a huge endorsement from Hillary
Clinton that could be they key to pulling off an
Democratic presidential candidate
Bernie Sanders is set to pick up one of his biggest endorsements yet
Thursday from the powerful Communications Workers of America union,
sources told NBC News' Andrea Mitchell.
The group represents about 700,000 workers nationally, making it by
far the largest union to back Sanders yet. CWA's endorsement, which
will be announced at a news conference at 11 a.m. Thursday at the
union's headquarters in Washington, comes as Sanders has lost
out on a string of major union endorsements to Democratic front-runner
Hillary Clinton, whose campaign now claims the support of unions
representing 12 million workers.
It goes without saying that this is a major loss for Hillary Clinton, who is eager to
avoid an embarrassing repeat of 2008, where she was defeated by underdog
Barack Obama. As NBC notes, the CWA DIDN'T endorse a candidate in that
primary. That they would choose Sanders is perhaps a major indictment of Hillary.
