Rep. Bobby Rush endorses Mike Bloomberg

Chicago Sun-Times

WASHINGTON — Democratic White House hopeful Mike Bloomberg picked up the endorsement Tuesday of Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., who was also tapped to be a national campaign co-chair.

Rush told the Chicago Sun-Times he was impressed by Bloomberg’s approach to the “economic discrimination in the black community.”

Rush, who represents the 1st Congressional District anchored on Chicago’s South Side, was a supporter of Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., before she dropped out of the 2020 race in December.

Rush said in the wake of Harris’ withdrawal from the race, he was called by Democratic rivals ex-New York Mayor Bloomberg, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and former Vice President Joe Biden.
