Two California Democratic members of Congress, Henry Waxman and Howard Berman, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid on Thursday, moving the Illinois senator closer to securing the party nomination.
“Barack Obama has laid out a foreign policy vision driven by principle and conviction, and he understands that our moral authority and our safety as a nation go hand in hand,” said Berman in a statement.
“Senator Obama’s vision for change has inspired tens of millions of Americans. And he’s also proved that he has the experience, judgment, integrity, and toughness to bring real reform to Washington," added Waxman.
Both were previously uncommitted.
The Obama campaign announced four added superdelegates today. The others are Larry Cohen, president of the Communications Workers of America, and Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington.
CNN now estimates Obama leads Sen. Hillary Clinton 291 superdelegates to 274. The Obama campaign reports he is roughly 130 delegates shy of securing the nomination.
