The commitment indicates Clinton is still considered a valuable asset even in states where she lost during her 2016 bid for the presidency. Allies say it proves she is also a draw even with progressive candidates like Gillum, who endorsed Clinton during the 2016 Democratic presidential primary and was on an early list of potential running mates.
“She’s trying to be helpful in any way she can,” said one longtime Clinton ally. “I think this is proof of those efforts. She’s doing everything she can to help Democrats in winning.”
