John Edwards to Hop on Obama Bandwagon

05/14/08 - 06:44 PM EDT

TSC Staff

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards was expected to formally endorse Barack Obama in the 2008 election Wednesday, according to reports.

Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, was to announce his decision to back Obama (D., Ill.) during a campaign appearance Wednesday in Grand Rapids, Mich., according to The Associated Press.

A two-time presidential contender, Edwards became John Kerry's running mate after losing the presidential nomination in 2004. He dropped out of the 2008 race in January.

Though Edwards was rumored to be leaning toward endorsing Obama rather than New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, he'd made no formal announcement before Wednesday. Clinton trounced Obama in Tuesday's West Virginia primary, but the victory was largely symbolic, as Obama continues to lead among voters and superdelegates.
