Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton cheered Friday after learning she’s likely to score the vote of an Uber driver who chauffeured rival Jeb Bush in California.
“Thanks for the support, Munir!” the ex-secretary of state tweeted over a link to a story about Bush’s Thursday journey to visit a startup company in one of the ride-hail hawker’s cars.
Bush tweeted a photo of himself in San Francisco with Munir Algazaly at the wheel, reporting, “Rode shotgun in @Uber this morning to @Thumbtack here in SF. 5 stars for Munir.”
Algazaly told reporters he hadn’t realized the tall passenger who sat up front with him was the former Florida governor and 2016 GOP presidential hopeful.
The driver, who described himself as a 35-year-old Yemeni immigrant, said he doesn’t usually vote, but would probably support Clinton, according to Time.
