Georgia Rep. John Lewis, who backed Hillary Clinton in his state’s February 5 Democratic presidential primary, announced Wednesday he is switching his support to Barack Obama to reflect the will of his constituents. ”Something is happening in America,” the 11-term congressman, a bloodied veteran of the civil rights movement, said in a statement issued by his office. “There is a movement, there is a spirit, there is an enthusiasm in the hearts and minds of the American people that I have not seen in a long time, since the candidacy of Robert Kennedy.” He is also a longtime friend of Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and said he had “a deep and abiding love” for both.
But he added, “I think the candidacy of Sen. Obama represents the beginning of a new movement in American political history that began in the hearts and minds of the people of this nation. And I want to be on the side of the people, on the side of the spirit of history.”
