LAS VEGAS - In 2008, John Lewis dealt Hillary Clinton a devastating blow by switching his support from her presidential campaign to upstart Barack Obama, providing a critical validation to the first-term Illinois senator from one of the nation’s most prominent and respected veterans of the civil rights era.

3. I don't think Rep John Lewis will change his endorsement in 2016.

He has already set the record straight on Bernie Sanders. We saw the photo with Lewis on the 50th Anniversary of the march on the Edmund Pettus bridge, Lewis has made it known he has endorsed Hillary.
