As if President Obama’s endorsement weren’t special enough, Martin O’Malley is also throwing his weight behind Hillary Clinton:

For the future of the country, I am committing my energies to the election of Secretary Clinton as the next President. #ImWithher

The stakes are far too high for the untested hands of @realDonaldTrump. America needs a tried and true leader. Hillary is that leader. #2016
