DNC CONVENTION | Mook: Everyone here voting for Clinton

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager says there’s no comparison between the disunity at the Republican convention and the state of the Democratic Party.

Robby Mook is noting that no living Republican presidents attended the GOP convention, nor did the governor of Ohio, which hosted the gathering. He says in contrast, “Everybody is actually showing up at our convention and they’re endorsing Hillary Clinton.”

He sidestepped questions about the role of ousted Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s role at the convention. He says it was “her decision” to step down at the end of the convention.

Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden will hold his first campaign rally for Clinton next month in his hometown of Scranton, Pa.

Biden had planned to campaign for Clinton earlier this month but postponed the event after five police officers were killed in Dallas. That incident also led Clinton’s GOP rival Donald Trump to scrap events.

The White House says Biden will now travel to Scranton on Aug. 15. The locale has dual significance — it’s also where Clinton’s father lived for years.

The rally will come nearly three weeks after Biden speaks Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention. Biden has endorsed Clinton and promised to campaign hard for her but was seen as a potential chief rival to her had he run for president. He opted out last year.
