Mfume embraces Cardin?s Senate bid

Before Democratic primary voters decided their fate in the Senate race, this summer Sen. Barbara Mikulski told Rep. Ben Cardin and ex-Rep. Kweisi Mfume that she wanted both of them at a unity rally this month to help whichever nominee win the general election.

At a boisterous rally in front of 1,500 at the University of Maryland, College Park Wednesday morning, the two men lived up to the deal. Mfume and Cardin hugged and shook hands, and Mfume offered a warm endorsement speech.
