NBC: Two New Hampshire state reps switch their support to Amy Klobuchar

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar expanded her support base in the Granite State on Thursday when she picked up endorsements from two state representatives who previously supported Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker respectively.

State Rep. Michael Pedersen had announced his support for Warren in November and State Rep. Linn Opderbecke supported Booker before the New Jersey senator ended his presidential campaign earlier this week.

“I like both candidates a lot, and am friends with staff on both teams, however I think that Sen. Klobuchar is more electable across the country than Sen. Warren,” Pedersen said. “She has a proven track record of winning in Trump country. And Sen. Warren has a proven track record of winning in liberal northeast.”

“Amy showed on the debate stage that she’s someone who tells the truth and has people’s backs,” Opderbecke said in a statement. “That is the leadership we need to take on Donald Trump. Amy will not only beat Trump, but also will secure victories up and down the ballot. I’m proud to support her campaign for president.”

1. I know I am a bit Biased

But there actually is some real movement towards Klobuchar.

While I still rate her chances as slim that could change. What is more she has done a lot of work in NH and is in a good position to capitalize on a surprise in Iowa.

4. I really like Klobuchar. I would switch to her in a minute if I thought she had

a shot at the nomination. I think she would be strong against Trump. I still can’t understand why people do not seem to be considering her. She is strong in the debates. She is a senator from a state we need.

2. hmmmm

The Booker one makes sense with him having dropped out. The one switching from Warren is

I'm not sure what it means, but I feel like it means something.
