WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The House majority whip and the top ranking African-American in Congress is expected to endorse Sen. Barack Obama in the Democratic presidential race on Tuesday, several sources told CNN.
Rep. James Clyburn has so far been neutral in the race between the front-running Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, the former first lady.
But sources close to the South Carolina congressman and high-level Democratic operatives said Clyburn will throw his support to Obama on Tuesday -- the day of the last Democratic primaries, in South Dakota and Montana.
Meanwhile, four of the 17 uncommitted Democratic senators gathered at the party's Senate campaign committee headquarters to discuss their course of action after those primaries. All are party superdelegates whose support will tip the balance of the Clinton-Obama race.
