DNC CONVENTION | Sanders: Vote for me, but respect system
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bernie Sanders says he hopes his delegates will vote for him during Tuesday’s planned roll call vote. But the former presidential candidate acknowledges that he does not have enough support to prevent Hillary Clinton from being formally nominated by the Democratic party for president.
Sanders is telling a round-table interview with Bloomberg Politics that although he has endorsed Clinton, he still thinks his delegates should be able to vote for him during the floor vote at the Democratic National Convention.
The Vermont senator says he’s hopeful that “our people treat the process with respect” and not engage in demonstrations or booing on the floor.
Sanders says it’s possible that someone may request that the vote be considered unanimous once every state has had the chance to voice their support.
