S.C. Rep. Justin Bamberg is pulling his endorsement from Hillary Clinton and giving it to Bernie Sanders for the upcoming Democratic presidential primary, he announced at a Sanders campaign press conference Monday.
Bamberg endorsed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination last month, but switched his support to Sanders today.
"The question is not what Secretary Clinton did to lose my endorsement, but what Sen. Sanders did to gain it,” Bamberg said, citing Sanders' positions on universal healthcare, free public college education and campaign finance reform as reasons he supports the senator from Vermont.
Bamberg said he did not initially give Sanders a "fair shake" when evaluating candidates for the Democratic nomination.
