In an address to supporters Thursday evening, Mr. Sanders did not offer a concession to Mrs. Clinton, the party’s presumptive nominee, but pledged to fight to stop likely GOP nominee Donald Trump.
He neither conceded the nomination to Clinton nor vowed categorically to take his fight to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia next month. A new surrogate for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Warren is relishing in her role as an attack dog, joking “I really could do this all day”.

DeMoro lamented the party’s push to gather endorsements and support from Sanders’ backers, calling it “a very negative dialogue”. Its drafting committee held a series of hearings in Washington last week and plans another starting Friday in Phoenix.
