California Gov. Jerry Brown announced Tuesday that he will be casting his vote for Hillary Clinton in the June primary."I believe this is the only path forward to win the presidency and stop the dangerous candidacy of Donald Trump," Brown said in a released statement.Although Brown is supporting the Democratic front-runner candidate, Brown also acknowledged how well Bernie Sanders has done with his campaign."(I) am deeply impressed with how well Bernie Sanders has done," Brown said. "He has driven home the message that the top one percent has unfairly captured way too much of America's wealth, leaving the majority of people far behind. In 1992, I attempted a similar campaign."However, Brown argued that Clinton has made the case that she knows how to "get things done" and has the ability and skill to advance the Democratic agenda."Clinton's lead is insurmountable and Democrats have shown -- by millions of votes -- that they want her as their nominee," Brown said. "Hillary Clinton, with her long experience, especially as Secretary of State, has a firm grasp of the issues and will be prepared to lead our country on day one."Brown made note that the Democrats need to come together, adding that Trump has called climate change a "hoax" and has "promised to deport millions of immigrants and ominously suggested that other countries may need the nuclear bomb."Brown concluded the statement by saying," Next January, I want to be sure that it is Hillary Clinton who takes the oath of office, not Donald Trump."Brown's announcement comes as Clinton, Sanders and Hillary prepare for stops in the Golden State ahead of the primary elections on June 7.Sanders will be speaking Wednesday at UC Davis, while Trump will be in Sacramento on the same day.Clinton has stops planned in California over the next week, but the location have not yet been announced.
