Former Hillary Clinton supporter and Connecticut attorney Audrey Blondin has thrown her support behind Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) to challenge Clinton for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.
During a ‘Face the State’ broadcast on Connecticut’s WFSB Sunday, Blondin explained why she soured on the idea of a Clinton candidacy.
"I would like to say that Elizabeth, Senator Warren, is a 21st century candidate. Senator Clinton, Secretary Clinton, is more of a 20th century candidate," Blondin said.
Blondin noted that in past Democratic primaries, both Hillary and Bill Clinton had failed to win Connecticut, making the "progressive" state more partial to a Warren candidacy.
"Remember, this is a state where jerry brown won the primary," Blondin said.
"I think the issues that Senator Warren speaks to--the income diversity, the student loans and Wall Street corporation corruption--those are issues that really resonate here with Connecticut residents, I believe."
