The current draft of the platform already shows Sanders’ influence, as it endorses steps to break up large Wall Street banks, advocates a $15 hourly minimum wage and urges an end to the death penalty.
The Daily Caller reached out to the Sanders campaign for comment, but have not received any response by press time.

Sanders could take these issue fights to the Democratic convention and his campaign is making sure it is ready to do so.
“Sources from both sides said the talks have been more focused on getting Sanders and his wife, Jane, acclimated to the idea that his revolution came up short – and it’s time for him to play a supporting role in the fight against Trump”, Politico’s Annie Karni reported.
