In a video published on social media, Raskin endorsed Warren and also pledged to support whoever becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.

“[M]y choice is emphatically United States Senator Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren has the chance to recapture the moral center of America and make it the political center of our party,” Raskin said.
Warren thanked Raskin for his endorsement on Twitter.

“Thank you @Jamie_Raskin. Together, we’ll sweep out the corruption of the Trump administration and make our government work for the people,” Warren tweeted.
Raskin isn’t the only politician in Montgomery County to announce his support for Warren. In October, Montgomery County Councilmember Evan Glass announced that he supported Warren’s candidacy.
