Clinton and Sanders' camps hope to increase senator's role in nomination process
- 8 years ago
As Hillary Clinton's nomination for President of the United States draws near, her camp is discussing the possibility of having Bernie Sanders make her nomination unanimous by acclamation after all the states have had a chance to have their votes recorded, according to Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs.
“We’ve been talking about that with the Clinton campaign for weeks,” Briggs told The Washington Post.
“We hope it works out.”
Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta deflected questions about the conversation, letting the Sanders campaign do all the talking.
Briggs said the outcome could be similar to what happened at the 2008 Democratic convention, when Clinton came to the convention floor, interrupted the roll call vote and moved to unanimously nominate Barack Obama as the Democratic presidential candidate.
