Rep. Jim Clyburn says former President Barack Obama should “probably” make an endorsement in the race for the Democratic nomination before the party’s convention this July in Milwaukee.
“At the proper time, probably should,” Clyburn said on Yahoo News’ “Skullduggery” podcast when asked if he would like it if Obama endorsed Biden. “If we’re talking about bringing this party together, I think he’s probably part of bringing it together, but not today.”
The South Carolina congressman also said that while he does not “have a problem” with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the other major candidate in the race, the nomination battle is “close to conclusion.” Now, Clyburn said, it’s time for Democrats to quickly unify ahead of the general election. Story continuesThe longtime South Carolina congressman warned that if the party fails to unify, they could be looking at a repeat of 1972, when Democrats nominated progressive stalwart George McGovern ahead of a landslide loss to then-President Richard Nixon. "I remember 1972, I was there in Miami in 1972, and I saw ideology take over the party and they were very pleased with themselves," Clyburn said."I mean, they gave us George McGovern.
"We are going to play that game, but we're going to play it better," Clyburn said when asked about Carlson's comments.
