BALTIMORE—Former Maryland Democratic congressman and former head of the NAACP Kweisi Mfume has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, her campaign says.
The Clinton campaign announced Mfume’s endorsement in a news release on Monday.
Mfume says Clinton has a track record of working for everyday people, especially on issues important to the African American and Latino communities.
Mfume’s endorsement comes as a boost for Clinton who has seen the gap between her and Sen. Bernie in the polls grow narrower.
