(July 6, 2016 10:49 a.m.) — Lawmakers press Sanders during a tense question-and-answer session on whether he would ultimately endorse Clinton and help foster party unity.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is still talking like a guy who’s running for president. But frustrated House Democrats — who booed him at one point during a morning meeting — say it’s time to stop.

With the Democratic convention just weeks away, Sanders still hasn’t endorsed one-time rival Hillary Clinton and dodged questions about when he would during a tense meeting Wednesday morning with House Democrats.

(July 4, 2016 07:12 pm) — In one of his earliest moments of raw candor during the presidential campaign, Donald Trump said that when big donors like him give politicians money, they “do whatever the hell you want them to do.”

“That’s a broken system,” Trump said during a Republican debate back in August. He piled on by mocking his opponents who pandered to the Koch brothers as “puppets” of the billionaire conservative businessmen.

Yet even as the political polar opposites Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont spent the past year railing on about a “rigged” political system that allows wealthy donors outsize influence, campaign finance reform isn’t the kind of sexy issue that drives voters to the polls.

(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.

(June 28, 2016 6:00 p.m.) — On Tuesday, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders penned an op-ed in the New York Times, arguing, in essence, that the Democratic Party must wake up to the realities facing working people around the world or risk being tossed aside by the right-wing demagogues on the rise in both the United States and Europe.

Reflecting on the recent “Brexit” vote, Sanders argues that political and economic elites, including the Democratic Party of the United States, have become disconnected from the lives of the people they purport to represent.

“Workers in Britain, many of whom have seen a decline in their standard of living while the very rich in their country have become much richer, have turned their backs on the European Union and a globalized economy that is failing them and their children,” Sanders wrote.
