, which has long been viewed as his firewall. It lands just days before the state’s primary, which is set for Saturday, and in a tweet announcing his endorsement Clyburn acknowledged the significance of this weekend’s election.Clyburn, the highest ranking African American in Congress, has long been close with Biden and has been open about his affinity for the former vice president during the Democratic primary.
Clyburn’s sentiment is widely shared by others in the Congressional Black Caucus, whose members have been more likely to endorse Biden — the loyal vice president to the nation’s first black president — than any other candidate in the race. On Wednesday, Clyburn said that he’d made the decision to publicly endorse Biden after an elderly constituent implored him to speak out at the funeral of his accountant last week.
