Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz Won’t Open Party Convention

Chris Riker, a pro-Sanders delegate from Miami, said Florida delegates received an email that Wasserman Schultz would be speaking at the Monday breakfast. The emails appeared to show high-ranking members of the DNC not only favoring Clinton, but also discussing how to undermine her opponent, Bernie Sanders.

Podesta said Wasserman Schultz can still play a role in helping Clinton win the Oval Office.

DNC vice chairwoman Donna Brazile, who will be taking over as chairwoman, had earlier said that she felt that Wasserman Schultz deserved to be part of the convention and to gavel it in.

They marched along a main road in Philadelphia to show ongoing support for Mr Sanders, chanting: “Hell no, DNC, we won’t vote for Hillary” and “This is what democracy looks like”. “A compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace”, the agency said in a statement. “Everybody felt it was Hillary’s turn and we were a distraction”. I mean I have loved the party for a long time.

On Sunday night, delegates attended a late-night party at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but Bernie Sanders’ Connecticut delegates are riding a wave of enthusiasm into the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

“They are not listening to their candidate – Bernie doesn’t want them to be doing this”, he said.

Thirteen of the state’s 18 delegates are backing Sanders.

As of right now, Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz is resigning as the chair of the Democratic National Convention.

He says he was disappointed in hacked Democratic National Committee emails that he says confirmed what many people believed – that the DNC was rooting for Clinton.

“It’s best for Hillary Clinton that we have a new chair of the party”, he said. “We have a bigger issue and that is defeating Donald Trump”.
