Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Former SC governor & US Secretary of Education Dick Riley endorses Joe Biden
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/2020-daily-trail-markers-former-south-carolina-governor-backs-joe-biden/JOE BIDEN: The former vice president's team has announced an endorsement from two-time South Carolina Democratic governor and former U.S. Secretary of Education Dick Riley, says CBS News Campaign Reporter LaCrai Mitchell.
Dr. Terry Peterson, a senior fellow at the College of Charleston, served under Riley as the chief education deputy in the governor's office for two terms and was the chief education adviser for eight years when Riley was education secretary under President Bill Clinton. He says that because of Riley's longstanding relationships with national education groups, his endorsement may afford Biden a second-look in certain educational circles.
"Educators who have been in the trenches for a while, know [Riley] and trust him all around the country…they like to hear from someone who's been on the ground in their state, in their schools, in their colleges over the years," said Peterson. "They want to know what someone like Dick Riley thinks because he's been among them over many years."
