Former two-time Clinton delegate backing Harris in 2020

A former two-time delegate for Hillary Clinton says he will back Sen. Kamala Harris’s (D-Calif.) presidential bid in 2020. 

Roger Salazar on Monday pledged his support for Harris in response to an article about Clinton advisers floating a third potential run in 2020 for the former Democratic presidential nominee. 

“No,” Salazar tweeted. “I was a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton and was a DNCC delegate for her twice. For 2020, I’m supporting @KamalaHarris for President. #ForThePeople.”

Salazar is a former California Democratic Party spokesman and also worked for the Bill Clinton White House and then-Vice President Al Gore’s presidential campaign in 2000, according to his profile page.

{mosads}Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.)  also endorsed Harris for president in the 2020 election on Monday, saying she “embraces the future.”

“Known Kamala for many years & worked together on various issues,” Lieu, a progressive Democrat, tweeted. “She embraces the future, not the past, and is the person we need to move America forward.”

Harris on Sunday officially launched her bid for the presidency with a speech touting equality in Oakland, Calif., that drew thousands of attendees.

Her campaign slogan is “Kamala Harris: For the People.”
