On Thursday, leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus will go to the Democratic National Committee to formally endorse Hillary Clinton for president through its political action committee.

The group plans to send African American lawmakers to targeted states, including South Carolina, where the Democratic primary will take place on Feb. 27. "It's one thing to endorse and do nothing," Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), chairman of the CBS PAC, told The Washington Post. "It's another thing to endorse and to go to work."
