Hillary Clinton notched another union endorsement Wednesday in New York, earning the support of the Local 3 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

The endorsement of the union, which represents 27,000 area members, comes on the same day the 42,000-member Transport Workers Union Local 100 announced that it would be supporting Bernie Sanders for next Tuesday's primary.

Clinton, who represented the state for eight years in the U.S. Senate, was endorsed by the New York Daily News on Tuesday, while Sanders picked up his first endorsement from a Senate colleague, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) earlier Wednesday.
