(July 10, 2016 10:39 a.m.) — Bernie Sanders’ campaign is declaring victory after striking deals with Hillary Clinton’s allies over climate change, health care and a $15-an-hour minimum wage as Democrats finalized the party’s 2016 platform.

The primary rivals’ negotiators never found common ground on trade — with Clinton’s supporters voting down the Sanders backers’ language to specifically reject the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership. Sanders supporters were also frustrated to see their proposals denouncing Israeli settlements and banning fracking rejected.

Top Sanders Adviser Praises Procedure For Drafting DNC Platform
By Sam Levine, Huffington Post

(July 2, 2016 10:59 a.m.) — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has repeatedly criticized the Democratic Party for running an unfair primary and called for the removal of its chair. But one of his top advisers this week described the party’s process for drafting its platform as “pretty good.”

While Sanders has begun acknowledging he is not going to be the Democratic nominee for president, he has called for a “fundamental transformation” of the party and vowed to remain in the race to influence its platform. The independent senator clearly influenced the final draft of the Democratic National Convention’s platform, which includes a $15 minimum wage and language like a “rigged economy” — a term Sanders has often used in speeches on the campaign trail.
