The commission tasked with reunifying the Democratic Party has released its first batch of recommendations, and one in particular would be a pretty big change for the party.

The Democratic Party's Unity Reform Commission says the party should cut so-called "superdelegates" by almost 60 percent.

The commission was founded after some Democratic delegates called into question the party's nomination process in 2016. It's made up of 21 Democrats picked out by Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and DNC Chairman Tom Perez.

You might remember the term "superdelegate" from last year's election. They're also known as unpledged delegates because they don't have to vote based on their states' primary results.
