Fox News
One of the Democratic Party’s top members is backing the opponent of a key Bernie Sanders ally in an upcoming special U.S. House election in Ohio, according to reports.
Turner, 53, is a former Cleveland city council member and Ohio state senator who co-chaired Sanders’ 2020 presidential run. "When I spoke out against sloganeering, like … ‘defund the police,’ … I know exactly where my constituents are. They are against that, and I’m against that." Clyburn, 80, who has served in Congress since 1993, says he’s supporting moderate Democrat Shontel Brown over Turner in the state’s 11th Congressional District as Ohio voters look to select a successor for U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge.More Related News
