Marc Morial on Northam: While It Would Be Great to Hear from Obama, I Don’t Think It Is Essential in This Instance

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "And you've got two senators, Mark Warner, Tim Kaine, their own experiences as governors, Terry McAuliffe, a potential candidate, all who worked closely with him and are disavowing him. Marc Morial, one leader we have not heard from yet is former President Obama."
MORIAL: "Yeah. We -- We -- We’d like to hear from him, but you know, I think that the voices we’ve already heard from have sent the strongest possible message. You’ve got political voices, you've got civil rights voices. You’ve got voices from the public square who called on Ralph Northam certainly to resign. While it would be great to hear from President Obama, I don’t think it’s essential in this instance.”
