Kamala Harris picks up endorsement from influential Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings
https://www.wptv.com/news/region-c-palm-beach-county/kamala-harris-picks-up-endorsement-from-influential-florida-rep-alcee-hastings(CNN) -- Sen. Kamala Harris on Friday picked up an endorsement from Rep. Alcee Hastings, an influential figure in Florida Democratic politics and a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Hastings' support makes this Harris' third nod from a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, as she seeks to assemble a winning coalition of black voters throughout the South.
Harris, along with more than 20 other 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, is heading to South Carolina this weekend to make a pitch to the state's majority black primary electorate.
Currently serving his 14th term, the longest in Florida's delegation, Hastings singled out Harris' tax credit proposal, the LIFT act , and teacher's pay proposal as drivers for his support. The Broward County Democrat said the former prosecutor has "delivered results for Americans at every level of government" in a statement to CNN.
