“A Bloomberg campaign non-disclosure agreement obtained by The Nation contains language that could prevent staffers from reporting workplace abuse.”

“The NDA totals 9 pages and forbids employees from discussing ‘any and all non-public information’ and ‘activities’ by the campaign.”

“And while it’s understandable that a campaign would want to keep things like internal polling under wraps, transparency advocates say that the NDA is overly broad to the point of preventing sexual harassment, as well as other forms of workplace abuse like racial discrimination, from being reported.”

More than 77,000 Nevada Democrats participated in early voting, the Las Vegas Sun reports.

“For the first time, Nevada’s Democratic Party offered early voting ahead of Saturday’s caucuses. Voters filled out ballots indicating their top three choices for president. The votes will be added to the totals from some 2,000 precinct caucus meetings on Saturday.”

“About 84,000 people participated in the state’s Democratic presidential caucuses in 2016.”

A new UMass-Lowell/YouGov poll in South Carolina finds Joe Biden barely leading the Democratic field with 23%, followed by Bernie Sanders at 21%, Tom Steyer at 13%, Elizabeth Warren at 11%, Pete Buttigieg at 11% and Amy Klobuchar at 9%.

“Key fundraisers are jumping ship from Joe Biden’s struggling presidential campaign to instead support Mike Bloomberg’s ascending candidacy,” CNBC reports.

“The development comes amid growing concerns within Biden’s affluent donor network that the former vice president is struggling to convince voters that he can defeat Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, for the Democratic nomination. The financiers are also impressed with Bloomberg’s self-funded operation.”

After Joe Biden released a video criticizing Mike Bloomberg for opposing some of the Obama administration’s policies, Bloomberg is now out with a video of Biden praising Bloomberg.

Said Bloomberg: “We are honored to have Joe’s support.”

Philip Bump walks through the math showing why Bernie Sanders might emerge from Super Tuesday with an untouchable lead — and also may not be able to clinch the Democratic nomination before the convention.

“It’s not impossible that Sanders could consolidate enough support to clinch the nomination, nor is it impossible that he can be caught. I mean, obviously; only two states have voted. But these twin factors — the 15 percent threshold and the proportional distribution of delegates — make it harder for him to clinch and harder for him not to enter the convention with the most pledged delegates if FiveThirtyEight’s projections are right.”

The Atlantic: “Bernie Sanders got so close to running a primary challenge to President Barack Obama that Senator Harry Reid had to intervene to stop him.”

“It took Reid two conversations over the summer of 2011 to get Sanders to scrap the idea.”

“That summer, Sanders privately discussed a potential primary challenge to Obama with several people, including Patrick Leahy, his fellow Vermont senator. Leahy, alarmed, warned Jim Messina, Obama’s presidential reelection-campaign manager… David Plouffe, another Obama strategist, confirmed Messina’s account, as did another person familiar with what happened.”

“He’s made a tremendous fortune, he’s a brilliant guy… He’s got some, you know, really amazing ideas, he’s done a very, very good job as the mayor of New York.”

DNC Chairman Tom Perez told CNN he has “a lot of confidence” the Nevada caucuses will run smoothly following the chaos in this year’s Iowa caucuses.

Said Perez: “We have gone to school over the lessons of Iowa. We are as low-tech as is humanly possible, while still preserving efficiency.”

He also hinted that there could be a higher than usual turn-out in Nevada, enabled partly by the change in the rules to allow early voting.
