Clyburn weighs endorsement decision amid Clinton Sanders race
South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn, a key Democratic voice, says he will consult family to decide whether to endorse in the presidential race. He notes his family is split with his daughter backing Hillary Clinton and his grandson supporting Bernie Sanders, while he weighs personal ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton and civil rights history. He recalls Clinton’s 2008 South Carolina clash and reflects on how Sanders’ rise appeals to emotions, but says he has not declared a position.
