Debbie Wasserman Schultz booed at Florida delegation breakfast
For outgoing DNC Chair and Weston, Florida congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, not so much.
Although Wasserman Schultz is leaving her DNC post, Clinton says she will serve as honorary chair of her campaign’s “50-state program to gain ground and elect Democrats in every part of the country, and will continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally, in Florida, and in other key states”. The same day, it emerged that in an effort to prevent convention floor “chaos”, she wouldn’t be allowed to be give a speech at the convention.
“So I can see that’s little bit of interest in my being here and I appreciate that interest”, Wasserman Schultz said amid the boos.
Why did Debbie Wasserman Schultz resign? He also repeated his call for a series of campaign debates with Wasserman Schultz.
The Democratic National Convention was sent into upheaval over the weekend when Wikileaks released almost 20,000 internal emails from the party – some of which showed officials working against Sen. Sanders was booed by his own supporters at a Monday afternoon meeting when he said, “We have to stop Donald Trump”. Party officials learned in late April that their systems had been attacked after they discovered malicious software on their computers.
Mook said the dissent within the Democratic Party doesn’t compare with the divisions Republicans displayed during their convention last week in Cleveland and that it won’t hurt Clinton’s chances in November.
By her mid-40s, Wasserman Schultz had survived breast cancer and was raising three kids – all the while serving in the House and raising millions for the Democratic Party.
She said she would fulfil her role and open and close the convention and address delegates “about the stakes involved in this election not only for Democrats, but for all Americans”.
Trump cast himself as the law-and-order candidate in a nation suffering under crime and hobbled by immigration, as the GOP convention stuck to a gloom-and-doom theme.
In return, Clinton seized upon what she called the “fear and the anger and the resentment” from Trump and Republicans, dismissing Trump’s declaration that only he could fix the problems that afflict the nation. New polls released Monday show Donald Trump has a three-point lead over Clinton.
Clinton was due to campaign in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday.
Clinton is within just days of her long-held ambition to become the party’s official presidential nominee. She will formally accept the nomination on Thursday. President Barack Obama will speak on Wednesday night. Other high-profile speakers include former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden.
While her ouster was a major victory for Sanders, it wasn’t enough to ease the frustration of his supporters.
While the government and Federal Bureau of Investigation haven’t officially pointed the finger at Russia, US officials briefed on the probe say the evidence so far points to groups known for conducting cyberintrusions for Moscow.
“We have the Republican Party platform moving back, saying that they won’t defend North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies”, Podesta said.
