Cash for opponent pours in as FL congresswoman struggles
In a statement, the Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort demanded that following Schultz’s resignation, Clinton drop out of the race.
But when US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont gave a full-throated speech in support of Clinton on Monday night, it made his supporters cry in disappointment.

Fealk said he viewed the emergence of hacked DNC emails, which suggested favoritism of Clinton, as a revelation and evidence of the party’s disrespect for progressives. During the primaries, the Sanders campaign had alleged that the party was not staying neutral. As she began talking, though, audience members wearing Bernie Sanders shirts started shouting and yelling, waving signs that said “Thanks for the “Help” Debbie” and signs that simply read “e-mails”.
