Bernie Who? Hillary Steams Ahead on Endorsements

27 Aug 26, 2015 4:34 PM EDT

By Jonathan Bernstein

Do you think enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton is fading within the Democratic Party? Here's a list of new endorsements she has gathered just in August:


U.S. Representatives Bill Pascrell Jr., Bonnie Watson Coleman, Donald Payne Jr., Xavier Becerra and Scott Peters
Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson
Former South Carolina Governors Dick Riley and Jim Hodges
Former North Carolina Senator Kay Hagan
From Iowa: former U.S. Senator Tom Harkin, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, state Attorney General Tom Miller and state Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald
Twenty of 21 of New Jersey's county Democratic chairmen and a bunch of N.J. state legislators
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey
California Assemblyman David Chiu
In New Hampshire, State Senator David Watters
In Connecticut, Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch
The Cook County (Chicago) Democratic Party



This month's haul swamps anything Bernie Sanders or the draft-Joe-Biden effort has rolled out over the entire campaign. And Clinton already had an intimidating number of endorsements, leaving few available for her to add................

This time, the Democrats have made a clear choice, with continuing endorsements showing that the party remains collectively committed to Clinton. She'll be in trouble if and only if that changes.
