Clinton Joins Sanders, O’Malley In AFL-CIO Convention Lineup

Hillary Clinton spoke at a town hall in Las Vegas and toured a local carpenter union’s training center before attending the same convention. “It’s not just the students, it’s the parents and grandparents who often guarantee the student loans, refinance their student debt at lower rates”, Clinton said. Clinton hosted a town hall in North Las Vegas before the convention.

Numerous biggest unions have yet to endorse, including the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which is led by Lee Saunders, an ally of Clinton when she represented New York in the Senate, and the nation’s largest union, the National Education Association, which sat out the 2008 primaries but wants to have more influence this time. “That’s for the people investigating to try and figure out. Personal stuff, we did not, and I had no obligation to do so, and did not”. It’s too late for establishment economics.

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is scheduled to hold a campaign rally at the University of Nevada, Reno, next week, according to a press release from his campaign. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’ Malley is expected to speak to the convention Wednesday morning.

Bearded, he wore a t-shirt in the style of Shepard Fairey’s iconic image of Barack Obama – emblazoned instead with Sanders’ face and the message, “Hope is nice, but I prefer no bullsh-“.
