Additional endorsements

• The Economist endorsed Hillary Clinton online on November 3, 2016, and in the magazine's November 5, 2016, print edition. Making the endorsement, The Economist wrote, "Our vote, then, goes to Hillary Clinton. Those who reject her simply because she is a Clinton, and because they detest the Clinton machine, are not paying attention to the turpitude of the alternative. Although, by itself, that is not much of an endorsement, we go further. Mrs Clinton is a better candidate than she seems and better suited to cope with the awful, broken state of Washington politics than her critics will admit. She also deserves to prevail on her own merits."
• The Financial Times endorsed Hillary Clinton for president on October 31, 2016. After acknowledging that many voters were hesitant to trust Clinton, the Financial Times wrote, "But she is manifestly more competent than Mr Trump whose braggadocio, divisiveness and meanness are on daily display. Despite her faults, Mrs Clinton is eminently qualified to be the first woman elected to the White House. She has the Financial Times’ endorsement."
• On October 29, 2016, South Carolina's The State endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Making the endorsement, the editorial board wrote in part, "This the first time our editorial board has endorsed a Democratic presidential nominee since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Through the years, we evaluated nominees based on our support for reducing the national debt, strengthening national security and other conservative values. Those values compel us to endorse Mrs. Clinton this year."
• Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said on October 25, 2016, that he would vote for Clinton for president. “She is smart. She is capable. She was a good secretary of state,” Powell said. “She is balanced, she has temperament, and no matter what anyone says she’s got stamina ... I think she is fully qualified to serve as the president of the United States and I think she will serve it with distinction.”
• The New Yorker endorsed Hillary Clinton in October 2016. Making the endorsement, the editors wrote, "The election of Hillary Clinton is an event that we will welcome for its immense historical importance, and greet with indescribable relief. It will be especially gratifying to have a woman as commander-in-chief after such a sickeningly sexist and racist campaign, one that exposed so starkly how far our society has to go. The vileness of her opponent’s rhetoric and his record has been so widely aired that we can only hope she will be able to use her office and her impressive resolve to battle prejudice wherever it may be found."
• On October 10, 2016, Miami's Latin Builders Association (LBA) endorsed Hillary Clinton. This was the first time the "conservative-leaning, largely Cuban-American organization" backed a Democratic presidential candidate. LBA President Alex Lastra said in a statement, “Throughout its 40-year history, the LBA has consistently endorsed candidates who have conservative principles, a pro-business mindset, believe in limited government regulation, and possess strong business ethics and family values that have closely aligned with ours. In the past, these candidates have tended to be from the Republican Party.” Lastra also wrote, that a president should “possess the right temperament, sound judgment, knowledge of national and international issues and the ability to bring people together, regardless of party affiliation.” She added, “It is clear that, in this election, the candidate whose values best align with the LBA and who possesses these important qualities is Hillary Clinton.”

• For only the third time since its founding, The Atlantic endorsed a presidential candidate in 2016. On October 5, 2016, the magazine endorsed Clinton: "Hillary Rodham Clinton has more than earned, through her service to the country as first lady, as a senator from New York, and as secretary of state, the right to be taken seriously as a White House contender. She has flaws (some legitimately troubling, some exaggerated by her opponents), but she is among the most prepared candidates ever to seek the presidency. We are confident that she understands the role of the United States in the world; we have no doubt that she will apply herself assiduously to the problems confronting this country; and she has demonstrated an aptitude for analysis and hard work." The only other candidates endorsed by The Atlantic were Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
• Retired five-term Senator John W. Warner (R-Va.) endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton on September 28, 2016. Appearing with Tim Kaine in Virginia, the 89-year-old World War II veteran, former U.S. Navy secretary, and former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said that preparation was essential when choosing a commander in chief. “You can’t pull up a quick text like ‘National Security for Dummies,’" he noted. Warner also said he was distressed by the way Donald Trump describes the state of the U.S. military and military families. Warner said, “We have today the strongest military in the world” He continued, "No one can compare to us. … It is not in shambles. … No one should have the audacity to stand up and degrade the Purple Heart, degrade military families or talk about the military being in a state of disaster.”
• On September 28, 2016, Grant Woods, a former two-term Republican attorney general of Arizona, endorsed Clinton for president. Woods said in a written statement, “Hillary Clinton is one of the most qualified nominees to ever run for president. Donald Trump is the least qualified ever." He continued, "The stakes are too high to stand on the sideline. I stand with Hillary Clinton for president.”
• On September 7, 2016, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz endorsed Clinton for president. Schultz told CNNMoney, "I think it's obvious Hillary Clinton needs to be the next president."

• On August 26, 2016, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters unanimously voted to endorse Hillary Clinton. Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa said in a statement, “We are proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for President of the United States.” Hoffa continued, “She is the right candidate for the middle class and working men and women across the country.” Making the endorsement, Hoffa added, “Donald Trump supports national right-to-work laws that are proven to weaken the middle class and has a long track record of shipping jobs out of the country as a businessman. He is no friend to working Americans."

• David Nierenberg, one of Mitt Romney's original finance committee chairmen, endorsed Clinton in a CNBC op-ed on August 19, 2016. He wrote, "She is emotionally mature and centered. She respects and enjoys working with people from all backgrounds. She has the diplomatic skills needed to break the gridlock in Washington and lead our country well. America needs a steady hand on the tiller." Nierenberg also wrote, "We cannot afford the risk of a man whose temperament and behavior are erratic."

• Former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, who served in George W. Bush's administration, endorsed Clinton during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on August 14, 2016. Gutierrez told Tapper, "I believe Hillary Clinton will make a good president and I'm going to support Hillary Clinton. And I'm going to do everything possible to make sure the GOP doesn't get destroyed."

• Veteran diplomat John Negroponte endorsed Clinton on August 10, 2016. Negroponte served under the Clinton administration and three Republican administrations. In a statement provided by the Clinton campaign, Negroponte said, “She will bring to the Presidency the skill, experience and wisdom that is needed in a President and Commander in Chief,” he said. “Having myself served in numerous diplomatic and national security positions starting in 1960, I am convinced that Secretary Clinton has the leadership qualities that far and away qualify her best to be our next President.”

• Former George W. Bush aide Lezlee Westine endorsed Clinton in a statement on August 8, 2016. “Our nation faces a unique set of challenges that require steady and experienced leadership. That is why today I am personally supporting Hillary Clinton,” she said.

• Former acting director and deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency Michael Morell endorsed Clinton in an op-ed in The New York Times on August 5, 2016. He wrote, “Two strongly held beliefs have brought me to this decision. First, Mrs. Clinton is highly qualified to be commander in chief. I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president — keeping our nation safe. Second, Donald J. Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security.” Morell singled out Trump’s positions on Russia and its annexation of Crimea and called Trump “an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.”

• The editorial board of The Houston Chronicle, which supported Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election, endorsed Clinton over Trump on July 29, 2016. Explaining its decision, the editorial board wrote, “Any one of Trump's less-than-sterling qualities - his erratic temperament, his dodgy business practices, his racism, his Putin-like strongman inclinations and faux-populist demagoguery, his contempt for the rule of law, his ignorance - is enough to be disqualifying. His convention-speech comment, ‘I alone can fix it,’ should make every American shudder. He is, we believe, a danger to the Republic.”

• On July 25, 2016, Retired Marine Gen. John Allen, a four-star general who led coalition forces in Afghanistan, announced that he had endorsed Hillary Clinton. He said in a statement released by the campaign, "Through 37 years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, I saw some of the toughest challenges that our nation faces around the world, and I know that America has the power to meet those challenges. However, it requires continued leadership and engagement in the world, continued partnership with our allies, and a clear understanding of our adversaries."

• On July 20, 2016, the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce endorsed Clinton, saying she'll be "America's first small business president." Typically choosing to remain neutral, this was the group's first presidential endorsement.

• Unite Here, a labor union representing “270,000 workers in the hotel, gaming, food service, manufacturing, textile, distribution, laundry, transportation and airport industries,” endorsed Clinton on July 19, 2016. The union decided to endorse Clinton “because she opposes an excise tax on high-end healthcare plans under the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as the ‘Cadillac tax.’ The excise tax, which is set to go into effect after President Obama leaves office, would charge some companies that provide high-dollar healthcare benefits an additional tax on such plans,” according to The Hill. The endorsement said, “Most impressively, we did not have to ask Hillary Clinton to take this position. Indeed, it is just a reflection of her decades-long commitment to affordable health care for working families.”

• The Alliance for Retired Americans endorsed Clinton on June 30, 2016. Alliance President Robert Roach Jr. said, “Hillary Clinton has been a champion for retirees throughout her distinguished career. Her life’s work exemplifies the Alliance’s mission to enhance the quality of life for all Americans. She has pledged to strengthen and expand Social Security, and she will oppose efforts to cut, privatize or shift Medicare costs to retirees. We are confident she will work to rein in the uncontrolled prices of prescription drugs which are far outpacing the rate of inflation and forcing too many retirees to choose between food and medicine.”

• On June 30, 2016, French President François Hollande endorsed Hillary Clinton. He wrote, “[T]he best thing the Democrats can do is to get Hillary Clinton elected.” He added that electing Trump “would complicate relations between Europe and the U.S."

• In an interview with Entertainment Weekly on June 15, 2016, Oprah Winfrey endorsed Hillary Clinton. "I really believe that is going to happen," said Winfrey on Clinton being the first woman to be elected president. She continued, "It's about time that we make that decision."

• Larry Pressler, a former Republican senator from South Dakota, endorsed Clinton on June 12, 2016, because of her stance on gun control. “Unfortunately the Republican candidate Trump has pledged publicly total cooperation with the NRA. We cannot use as an excuse that, since this is ISIS-inspired, that [sic] we should not have more gun control — at last, we must recognize that we need a president who will take on the NRA,” he said.

• Rev. Jesse Jackson endorsed Clinton on June 11, 2016, saying, “We trust her to work on healthcare, to fight for the poor. We trust her to fight in the defense of children.” Commenting on the Democratic primary, he added, “The campaign is technically over, but the crusade is not. I support Hillary’s campaign and Bernie’s crusade, and they are reconcilable."

• The United Steelworkers (USW), Utility Workers Union of America, and the Glass Molders, Pottery, Plastics & Allied Workers International Union, whose membership together totaled 1.3 million active and retired workers, endorsed Clinton on June 8, 2016. USW said in a statement that “Trump has consistently proven to be on the side of the wealthy and powerful, rather than on the side of working people. Trump believes workers’ wages are too high and supports union-busting legislation. His tax plan would benefit millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the middle class. He supports efforts to repeal the ACA but has no concrete plan to replace it.”

• The United Auto Workers Union (UAW) endorsed Clinton on May 25, 2016, calling Clinton the "best choice for our members and our nation in the November election." Accepting the endorsement, Clinton said, "Autoworkers need more than tough talk on trade." She continued, "They need a president who knows how to compete and win for American workers."

• The U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC), the largest Hispanic business organization in the country, endorsed Clinton for the Democratic nomination on April 28, 2016.

• The Philadelphia Inquirer endorsed Clinton a week before Pennsylvania's Democratic primary. The Inquirer described Clinton as "not only thoroughly qualified for the presidency but also historically unprecedented by the long line of men who have occupied it." The newspaper praised Bernie Sanders' campaign and for pushing Clinton to consider progressive stances on issues such as a higher minimum wage, but endorsed Clinton because she "is better prepared to lead her country."

• While receiving an endorsement from the New York State Immigrant Action fund, an immigrant rights group, on April 13, 2016, Clinton announced her plan to create an Office of Immigrant Affairs.

• The Joint Action Committee for Political Affairs (JACPAC), a bipartisan organization focused on a pro-Israel domestic agenda, endorsed Clinton on March 26, 2016. The organization's executive director, Marcia Balonick, said in a statement, “Hillary has first-hand experience in diplomatic efforts to create a peaceful resolution to the Arab-Israel conflict. She is uniquely qualified to promote and protect the special relationship between the U.S. and Israel."
• The American Nurses Association (ANA) endorsed Clinton on March 22, 2016. The largest member-based group for registered nurses, the ANA is distinct from the 185,000-member National Nurses United which endorsed Bernie Sanders in November.
• The Des Moines Register endorsed Clinton to be the Democratic presidential primary nominee on January 23, 2016, nine days before the state's caucuses. "Democrats have one outstanding candidate deserving of their support: Hillary Clinton. No other candidate can match the depth or breadth of her knowledge and experience," the paper wrote. "She is not a perfect candidate, as evidenced the way she has handled the furor over her private email server. In our endorsement of her 2008 campaign for president, we wrote that 'when she makes a mistake, she should just say so.' That appears to be a lesson she has yet to fully embrace." But the paper concluded that, "Clinton has demonstrated that she is a thoughtful, hardworking public servant who has earned the respect of leaders at home and abroad. She stands ready to take on the most demanding job in the world."

• Karen Weaver (D), the mayor of Flint, Michigan, endorsed Clinton on January 19, 2016. Weaver said in an interview that Clinton was the only candidate who reached out to the city to see if she could offer any help with Flint’s water crisis.

• The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), a union with more than 125,000 members, endorsed Clinton on January 13, 2016. She said in a statement about the endorsement: "For decades, members of IATSE have entertained and delighted Americans, but that's not all. IATSE has fought for good pay and safe working conditions and the chance for everyone who works hard to get ahead. As President, I will stand with IATSE and with hard-working Americans across our country.”

• Planned Parenthood endorsed Clinton on January 7, 2016, the first presidential primary endorsement the organization had made in its 100-year history. Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, said in a statement, "No other candidate in our nation’s history has demonstrated such a strong commitment to women or such a clear record on behalf of women’s health and rights. This is about so much more than Planned Parenthood. Health care for an entire generation is at stake.”

• The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), a union representing more than 670,000 members, endorsed Clinton on December 10, 2015.

Sean McGarvey, the union coalition’s president, said in a statement, “Her infrastructure plan is further proof that she understands that the state of our nation's infrastructure is a bellwether for the health of the American economy and for the economic prospects of American workers. We commend Secretary Clinton for putting forth a robust, yet entirely practical plan. She acknowledges, in stark contrast to the other candidates in this presidential race, that this is a national problem which requires a bold, national, and realistic solution, not a pie-in-the-sky dream or a piecemeal approach."

• The Laborers' International Union of North America, or LIUNA, announced November 24, 2015, that it endorsed Clinton. "LIUNA members are deeply concerned about the direction of our country and are looking for a real leader who will create good jobs, rebuild our country, and grow our economy," Terry O’Sullivan, the union's president, said in a statement, according to The Huffington Post. "Secretary Clinton’s record proves that she is a tough and tested fighter for our nation and for working men and women." LIUNA had roughly a half-million members working mostly in the construction and building trades.

• David Plouffe, President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign manager, endorsed Clinton, NBC News reported October 24, 2015. In an essay posted to Medium, Plouffe wrote, “Now, to be honest, during the most intense days of the 2008 primary, I would never have imagined writing this piece.

As a twice-elected Senator, she worked with farmers to improve their prosperity in rural New York. And as Secretary of State, she helped to establish a program that delivers food assistance to over 12.5 million hungry children in some of the poorest countries in the world. This just scratches the surface of her career of inspiring and delivering for people around the country and across the globe.”
