CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Union has voted overwhelmingly to endorse Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The vote was held Friday. Trump won the endorsement with 216 votes over Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who garnered 68 votes.

The union doesn’t normally endorse a candidate, but a week ago, members voted in favor of making an endorsement by one vote. That led the way for Friday’s endorsement
