A sector of moderates in Congress, particularly vulnerable Democrats in swing districts, are beginning to discuss strategies to stop Sanders from appearing at the top of the ticket.
On 2/28/20 at 2:07 PM ESTAn increasing number of Democrats on Capitol Hill say they are prepared to use the Democratic primary process to prevent Bernie Sanders from becoming the party's nominee—even if the Vermont senator receives the most delegates.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks during a rally at the Arthur Ashe Junior Athletic Center on February 27 in Richmond, Virginia.Walking away from Super Tuesday with a win under his belt would expand Sanders' delegate lead and possibly set him on a collision course with the party he's running to represent due to the increased likelihood of an undecided convention.
Rep. Gerry Connolly argued the new rules were the result of DNC Chairman Tom Perez"pandering to Sanders," supporters of whom believe the senator was cheated out of the 2016 primary against Hillary Clinton because most superdelegates preferred the former secretary of state and influenced the general electorate.
"The presidential race is its own race, and contrary to what you may be hearing or writing," Pelosi told reporters,"we are all unified. Whoever the nominee is of our party, we will wholeheartedly support." Pelosi also appears to be pleasing some of her most liberal members, such as Rep. Pramila Jayapal , co-chair of the Progressive Caucus."She's letting the process play out, as she should," Jayapal said.
