Jim Harbaugh wishes Michigan fan John Dingell happy 90th birthday

ANN ARBOR – In June, Jim Harbaugh brushed aside the notion of endorsing a presidential candidate.

The Michigan football coach said it was because, well, he's just a football coach.

However, politics are not completely out of his realm and he took a minute to wish a happy 90th birthday to John Dingell, a Democrat who represented Michigan in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1955 until 2015. July 8 is his birthday.

"It's a pleasure and an honor to wish John Dingell a happy 90th birthday," Harbaugh said in a video.
