During his nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show radio program Tuesday, the talk and television star told his listeners he was going to be endorsing a candidate for president.
In introducing Hillary Clinton, he said she has “fought for social justice, equality, and policies that expand civil rights and economic opportunity.” A staunch supporter of President Obama, he said she would “build on the progress” of the past seven years.
“I’m endorsing you as my candidate for president of the United States,” he told her. “I just think that you’re going to just do the right thing for the majority of the people in this country.”
Clinton has been courting African-American voters, which has become a key voting bloc for the Democrat Party. Harvey’s endorsement will likely give those efforts a big boost in the coming weeks.
“This means so much to me, Steve,” she said. “It really is very much an honor to have your support and your endorsement because you try to bring issues as controversial as gun control and voting rights and so much else to people’s attention. And I really appreciate that.”
