Related: About this forumI proudly stand with the NRDC Action Fund in their endorsement of Hillary Clinton
By Abby Phillip May 31 at 6:30 AM
A major environmental group, the NRDC Action Fund, will endorse Hillary Clinton on Tuesday in its first-ever political endorsement in a presidential election.
In a statement, the NRDC Action Fund, a political affiliate of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said that the unprecedented endorsement is reflective of the need for left-leaning groups to unite against Donald Trump, the likely Republican nominee.
Hillary Clinton is an environmental champion with the passion, experience and savvy to build on President Obamas environmental legacy, Rhea Suh, president of the NRDC Action Fund, said in a statement. More than any other candidate running, Hillary Clinton understands the environmental challenges America faces, and her approach to solving them is grounded in the possibility and promise our democracy affords us....
The endorsement is a blow to Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who hopes to upset Clinton next week in the Democratic primary in California, a state where environmental issues loom large.
The NRCD Action Fund's move to endorse Clinton comes at a critical time for her as she seeks to dispatch with Sanders and pivot to a general election fight against Donald Trump. Clinton may also be facing a tougher-than-expected challenge from Sanders in California. Her campaign announced on Monday that she would spend more time than originally planned campaigning in the state this week.

(643 posts)26. Kind of ironic, isn't it?
HRC appears to be claiming that fracking is the lesser of the current energy evils. Eerily similar to the argument that Trump is too evil to allow to take office, so vote for Hillary, even if you see her as the lesser of two evils. Yeah....I'm gonna to say no to both options. There may be varying degrees of evil. But evil is evil. Sorry.
