Bernie Sanders Shares the Stage With Andrew Cuomo

But did they expect Sanders to keep fighting for his nomination?

Sanders’ impromptu appearance came one day after some of his supporters jeered and booed Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the outgoing party chairwoman, for allegedly favoring former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the presidential primary.

While the “Bernie or bust” delegates are die-hard supporters who refuse to back Clinton, even as the nominee, Shcherbenko is taking a lighter approach.

While Mrs. Obama has often avoided overt politics, she did not shy away from taking on Trump.

Kay was less enamored of Cuomo’s speech-“too much bullshit”, he said, later adding that Cuomo’s backing of the Senate GOP was “a great contradiction”.

Mikulski, the longest-serving woman in Congress, and Lewis, a major civil rights leader, have both broken down political barriers, and they are set to make history again as they help Clinton become the first female nominee of a major political party.

But many protesters outside the Wells Fargo Center were unmoved.

But it was Bernie Sanders who wielded the most clout to reunite Democrats behind Clinton, calling upon his backers to get on board to ensure a Democratic victory. After the Sanders campaign said a deal had been reached, the staffer responded: “lol”.

Trump cheered the disruption from the campaign trail.

Democrats are blaming decades of Republican attacks for polls that show Hillary Clinton is widely distrusted and in a tight race against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. “That’s over and done with, and what you’re going to see is a lot of unity coming out of this convention”. Clinton addressed the same group Monday.

Hillary Clinton, 68, will be watching her husband speak from their home in Chappaqua, New York, campaign officials said.

When the roll call vote comes up this evening, Sanders delegates are expected to cast the 1,846 votes for the Vermont senator, even though doing so is more symbolic than anything. Even Clinton’s selection of Virginia Sen.

The Sanders and Clinton camps are still in talks about the nomination, CNN reports, so details could still change. That’s what Clinton did on Obama’s behalf in 2008 to indicate their rivalry was truly over.

Sanders suggested Tuesday he wouldn’t rush to make that gesture early, mindful that cutting off his restive voters could cause an outcry. Nomination sealed, the Clinton campaign planned to turn to a Day 2 program dubbed “Fights of Her Life”, highlighting her advocacy for children, health care and September 11 recovery efforts, the campaign said. The speakers also will include the so-called “mothers of the movement” – the mothers of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, black men whose deaths at the hands of police helped spawn the Black Lives Matter protests. “But the people that are Bernie or bust, or just can’t bring themselves across to vote for Hillary – that percentage, however small it might be or not, it’s going to be hard to turn them around”. They also criticized her for staying with Bill Clinton through various marital infidelities, including an affair with a White House intern that led to impeachment proceedings against him in 1998 on charges he lied to investigators.
