June 30, 2021 at 11:14 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) made a rare intervention into a Democratic party primary, endorsing Shontel Brown (D) in the race for a Cleveland congressional seat, the New York Times reports.
Clyburns endorsement of Brown over progressive Nina Turner (D) who is surging in her campaign and is an outspoken ally of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) highlights an ideological and generational rift in the Democratic party.

did to Hillary. and tried to do to Biden by misrepresentations and falsehoods in 2016 and 2020, are not leadership qualities in a representative.
I am just an outsider though, and it will be up to the people in that district to decide who they want to represent them

Though I am not a fan of ranked voting, this race would be very interesting if it involved rank choice voting because of so many candidates running

When I first heard of her I thought she was a good progressive with potential but by the time 2016 rolled around I was really tired of her.

Turner deserves... well, at a minimum a turned back.
