RALEIGH, N.C. — Gov. Mike Easley is going to endorse U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, according to Tom Hendrickson, a former state Democratic party chairman who is a key Clinton supporter in North Carolina.
Easley agreed to the endorsement after returning from an economic development trip to Italy. Clinton is expected to fly to Raleigh on Tuesday for a joint event with Easley.
