Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), a prominent black leader in the Democratic Party, endorsed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the New York City Democratic Primary for mayor.

Clyburn’s influence in the party helped former President Joe Biden in his 2020 presidential campaign by endorsing him in a crowded primary field. Cuomo hopes Clyburn can do the same for him.
