Roll call: Clinton heads to convention with 2814 delegates

Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort said the Clinton camp was trying to distract from its party discord ahead of the convention. That makes clear that DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not act in that capacity; under party rules, the DNC head acts as temporary chair until a new one is voted in.

“The promise to “#see you in Philly” has doubled as a rallying cry and threat to the Democratic establishment on progressive social media as activists seek to build support – and numbers – for planned protests both inside the convention and on the streets surrounding the Wells Fargo Center, where Hillary Clinton will accept the party’s nomination on Thursday night.

Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine are planning a bus tour through Pennsylvania and OH after the Democratic National Convention. Tim Kaine, was a disappointment and that he would have preferred Massachusetts Sen. He added: “Most of us stopped the name-calling thing about fifth grade”. He also suggested that Clinton’s choice of running mate, Virginia Sen.

Sanders has endorsed Clinton, to the dismay of a whole new generation of political newbies who jumped on Team Sanders this cycle. And at least one Sanders’ delegate said there was talk of protests during Kaine’s acceptance speech.

Wasserman Schultz has been a lightning rod for criticism throughout the presidential campaign, with Sanders repeatedly accusing the Democratic National Committee of backing Clinton, despite the party officially being neutral.

Last week, Wikileaks released thousands of emails from within the Democratic National Committee.

“I’m not shocked, but I’m disappointed” by the exchanges in the emails, Sanders told ABC’s “This Week”.

Emails posted to the website Wikileaks show that at least some DNC officials were looking at ways to undercut Sanders’ campaign, including questioning his religious beliefs.

The Vermont senator says a new leader is needed to focus the DNC on defeating Donald Trump, attracting young voters and improving the economy.

Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, tried to shift blame for the email hack away from DNC officials and onto “Russian state actors” who, he said, may have breached DNC computers “for the objective of helping Donald Trump”, the Republican presidential nominee.

“It was concerning last week that Donald Trump changed the Republican platform to become what some experts would regard as pro-Russian”, Mook said.

He says it’s no coincidence the emails are coming out on the eve of the party’s nominating convention in Philadelphia.

Democratic National Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Sunday afternoon that she would quit as head of the party this week, after leaked emails appeared to show bias against Bernie Sanders during his primary challenge to Hillary Clinton.

After the DNC released a slightly trimmed list of superdelegates – those are the party officials who can back any candidate – it now takes 2,382 delegates to formally clinch the nomination.

Of Utah’s 37 delegates, 29 are Sanders supporters, including two superdelegates.

The furore was a blow to a party keen on projecting stability in contrast to the volatility of Republican candidate Donald Trump, who was formally nominated at a raucous convention last week, and overshadowed preparations in Philadelphia for Clinton’s coronation as the nominee to face Trump in the November 8 US presidential election.

Sanders, who has endorsed Clinton and will speak on her behalf to the convention on Monday, said he would have preferred she pick U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren of MA, a favourite of the party’s liberal wing, as her No. 2.
