Democratic Campaign Managers Meet

· Leave a Comment

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook and Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver had dinner last weekend in Vermont, the AP reports.

“They talk almost daily, text frequently and email often.”

“Now, as Sanders lingers in the presidential race, refusing to concede the nomination to Clinton even as he says he’ll vote for her on Election Day, the competing campaign managers have become a powerful political odd couple, responsible for engineering a graceful conclusion to a hard-fought Democratic contest.”

Sanders Hopes to Win at Convention

Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told CNN that he believes the Democratic primary fight will continue until the convention.

Said Weaver: “If you look at the math, if you want to talk about math, the truth is is that it is very, very, very unlikely that either candidate, either Secretary Clinton or Sen. Sanders, will go into the convention with a majority needed of pledged delegates in order to win.”

“Weaver acknowledged that while super delegates count toward the nomination, they don’t officially count until they vote at the convention.”
