Rubio is on a roll, thats 3 Senators in a week, matching Bush. And Bush's last Senator endorsement came in August. Bush still has more reps, but I wouldn't be surprised if Rubio passed Bush this month on the 538 endorsement tracker.

To be fair, Gregg actually just endorsed Jeb!.

Not sure if it was noted here, but Jevb was also endorsed by that weirdo, UFO-sighting blue-blooded ex-Arizona governor. The one who invaded the Grand Canyon during the Gingrich-induced federal crisis of the late-twentieth century and eventually resigned under indictment.

Hints that Walker may endorse Rubio soon, dare I say at Rubio's upcoming Milwaukee rally.

I was talking current Senators. Former Senator Alan Simpson also recently backed Jeb. But the recent wavelet of current Senators for Rubio could indicate a feeling for the current establishment who are actually working in Washington now.

The 538 endorsement tracker only tracks Reps, Senators and Governors currently in office.

Have these two developed some kind of friendship during the campaign or is it just the Kochs trying (again) to impose their preferred candidate?

Jay Nixon endorses Hillary. No surprises there.

So far Hillary has got the endorsement of over half the Dem govs.

The remaining govs to endorse are...
Steve Beshear - Kentucky
Jerry Brown - California
Kate Brown - Oregon
Steve Bullock - Montana
Mark Dayton - Minnesota [edit: he already endorsed Clinton]
David Ige - Hawaii
Jay Inslee - Washington
Earl Ray Tomblin - West Virginia

Tomblin probably wont endorse anyone. Beshear may not endorse anyone while he is still in office.

I don't see a single potential Sanders endorsement among that group. Earl Ray Tomblin could've endorsed Ebb the Webb, but Webb is out.

Neither will Bullock.

What about Dayton and all the West Coasters? Why haven't they endorsed anyone yet?

Inslee because he's running for reelection next year, and knows that Sanders has some very influential supporters that he doesn't want to mess with. He'll wait until after the primary to endorse Hillary, I suspect.

That might be the same with Kate Brown since her special election is next year as well.

I'm not sure about Jerry Brown though. He and the Clintons get along about as well as Hatfields and McCoys. I'm not sure that he will endorse Bernie though. I think he would have endorsed Biden if Biden ran.

Sad. Maybe he'll switch? This was before Sanders was even considered.

He's continued to attend events and reaffirm his support into this year, so don't count on it.

Oh right, I forgot about the Jerry Brown/Bill Clinton thing.

What about Ige, though?

A Biden-Brown ticket would have been awesome. Wasn't it Biden who called Jerry Brown the smartest man in politics?

Cantwell has endorsed Hillary, per 538.

That leaves Warren as the sole female Democratic senator yet to endorse.

I see the Republican establishment has abandoned any pretense of subtlety.
For better or worse though these endorsements won't move any actual votes.
