Gov. Jerry Brown not saying whether he supports Clinton or Sanders
At the end of a news conference Monday morning at which he signed a bill expanding paid family leave in California, the four-term governor dodged a question about whether he is voting for Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton.
Brown didn’t answer the question, saying instead that he plans to use the full range of his “responsibility and prerogative” as a superdelegate, a title allowing him to vote for whomever he wants, regardless of whom the Democratic Party endorses.
After the news conference, the governor also took a jab at GOP hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz when a reporter asked him about what message he has for Cruz as he campaigns in Southern California ahead of the June 7 presidential primaries.
California has become a pivotal state if Cruz is to win the GOP’s presidential nomination over front-runner Donald Trump or trailing Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
