(Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 2:50 PM PT \u2013 Sunday, July 11, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>The special election in Ohio\u2019s 11th district has heated up as Democrats duke it out for who will succeed recently confirmed Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge.<\/p>\n<p>Big names have stepped in to endorse either side of the Democrat campaign. Hilary Clinton has voiced her support for moderate Cuyahoga County Democrat Party Chair Shontel Brown. Where progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) have endorsed former co-chair of the Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign Nina Turner.<\/p>\n<p>The race has become a proxy battle for the future of the Democrat Party, however, whether it will trend progressive or hold its establishment roots in the years to come.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Congressman Clyburn is an inspiration, and I am so humbled to receive his endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s spent his career fighting for his district, and as your next representative, I\u2019m committed to doing the same for Northeast Ohio.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7YAYfrvn36\">https:\/\/t.co\/7YAYfrvn36<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/jointhejourney?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#jointhejourney<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OH11?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OH11<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vvmd3v0lN9\">pic.twitter.com\/vvmd3v0lN9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shontel Brown for Congress (@ShontelMBrown) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShontelMBrown\/status\/1410623151810228225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Brown also received South Carolina\u2019s James Clyburn\u2019s (D) endorsement. Clyburn, the third ranking Democrat and highest ranking Black representative in the House, is widely credited with saving Joe Biden\u2019s primary campaign in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In his endorsement, Clyburn focused on the legacy of Black Ohio Congressmen rather than national issues and Democrat politics. \u201cI served with Lou Stokes, Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Marcia Fudge. They were effective because they focused on you, not on themselves. Shontel Brown will continue that legacy in Congress,\u201d said Clyburn.<\/p>\n<p>Brown is trying to run a \u201cmiddle of the road\u201d campaign in order to maintain national establishment support. She has expressed her support for Israel and has the backing of many Jewish Democrats. She also claimed a big reason for her run is to honor the legacy of those who came before her.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I am results driven and focused on serving the needs of the people who live in this district.

Turner however, said she\u2019s not dismayed by her lack of endorsements from prominent establishment Democrats. She appeared to receive energy from bucking the establishment of her own party and has famously kept aloof on whether she voted for Hilary Clinton in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, she was vocal in her distaste for Biden\u2019s presidential run. She voiced her beliefs on her firebrand version of progressivism and how it has shifted the debate within the Democrat Party on acceptable policy positions.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the Republicans running for the seat face an uphill battle in the heavily Democrat district. They will face off against a total of 13 Democrat primary candidates and two Republicans, Laverne Gore and Felicia Washington Ross.<\/p>\n<p>Reports have said if Gore or Ross are successful in their bid, they would be the first Republican to hold the seat in nearly four decades.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/texas-dems-to-push-own-bill-to-counter-gop-voting-laws\/\">Texas Dems To Push Own Bill To Counter GOP Voting Laws<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Oversight and Government Reform Committee members Rep.
