Glenn expected to endorse Hillary Clinton
John Glenn, the former astronaut and four-term U.S. senator, is expected to endorse Sen. Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president on Tuesday.
Glenn, 86, the first American to orbit the earth and a long-time friend of both Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, is expected to announce his choice at a Columbus press conference, according to a source close to the Democrats.
Glenn’s expected endorsement comes as both HIllary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama begin focusing on Ohio’s March 4 primary in their battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Also, Clinton plans to campaign in Ohio Thursday and Friday and her daughter Chelsea Clinton is expected to campaign in the state on Wednesday and Thursday, said Isaac Baker, spokesman for the campaign.
Obama is expected in Ohio “soon,” a campaign spokesman said.
