In an open letter to the state’s Democrats and independent voters, California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) endorsed Hillary Clinton Tuesday, saying she’s represents the best chance of stopping a Donald Trump presidency.
Brown laid out the case for Clinton ahead of the state’s June 7 primary by saying voters have responded to her “tenacity and skill” by casting 3 million more votes for her than Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
“If Clinton were to win only 10 percent of the remaining delegates – wildly improbable – she would still exceed the number needed for the nomination,” the governor wrote. “In other words, Clinton’s lead is insurmountable and Democrats have shown – by millions of votes – that they want her as their nominee.”
After praising Sanders’ message about income inequality, Brown said, “the general election has already begun.”
Polls show Sanders closing in on Clinton’s double-digit lead in the state. Over the weekend, the Washington Post reported Clinton changed her schedule to spend more time campaigning in California.
To be “fair,” shouldn’t he have given 60% of his endorsement to Clinton and 40% to Sanders?
This endorsement is rigged!

Giddyup journalism at its best.
Clinton up by 13
And where do you expect her to spend her time? In NJ where she has a 2:1 lead?
He would have made a great president.
Thank you, Jerry. As a man of near impeccable judgment, Brown should seal the deal for a lot of people. And believe me, he has campaigned on issues that Sanders might have found agreeable: but Jerry won, and Sanders didn’t. And Jerry knows how to govern, really govern.
