"Last week, former NAACP President Ben Jealous made his presidential endorsement known — and
it was for Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders. Endorsements are symbolic and may convey important cues to voters. But Hillary Clinton, in particular, should take note of this endorsement because she still doesn't have a lock on a key component of the Democratic Party vote: African-Americans.
Political observers are quick to point to the contentious language both Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton used to characterize Barack Obama in 2008 as a possible concern for African-American voters.
More importantly, the lack of President Obama's endorsement has become a bigger red flag for Clinton's African-American support. The most important cue for African-Americans voter is President Obama, and the longer he waits, the more difficult it will be for Hillary Clinton to secure the nomination." CNBC
