Sanders, Clinton negotiating over Nomination Procedures

Excerpts:

“I think it’s appropriate that every state have the right to call its votes,” said Sanders, who endorsed Clinton this week after a hard-fought primary. He added that there may then be an effort to move forward with acclamation, “but that would be after every state cast their votes.”


On whether he would hold a big event for supporters in Philadelphia, Sanders said: “We will not be doing a large rally, but we will be doing smaller events and talking to our delegates.”

An application from the Sanders campaign to hold a rally at a park near the DNC site during the convention has been denied, according to a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia mayor. Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said there were no current plans to apply for another permit.
