DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement that she will resign as the Democratic party’s head after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention.

Politico: “This final blow to her reputation caps a long, slow-motion fall from grace for Wasserman Schultz, who now faces her first Democratic primary opponent in 24 years, Tim Canova.”

“The Democratic Party arrived here still divided over the results of its presidential primary season, with anger at the nominating process, the Clinton-Kaine ticket and hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee spilling into the party’s final meetings before the convention begins,” the Washington Post reports.

“On each count, supporters of Bernie Sanders found new reasons to bristle about their choice in November. Hillary Clinton’s selection of Sen. Timothy Kaine as her running mate angered progressives who had lobbied for someone from their movement. The partial failure of a push to end the use of superdelegates — the party activists and elected officials who are unbound by the primary results — dredged up feelings that the Clinton-Sanders face-off had not been fair.”

“Democrats this weekend advanced what is easily their most liberal platform ever as representatives of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton strove toward unity during a sometimes contentious party meeting,” NBC News reports.

“The draft platform, which still needs to be ratified at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia later this month, showed Sanders’ clear influence, even though he lost a battle on his top priority: opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership.”

Caveat: “Party platforms are unenforceable message documents that are generally ignored almost as quickly as they’re written.”

“In an attempt to head off an ugly conflict at its convention this summer, the Democratic National Committee plans to offer a concession to Sen. Bernie Sanders — seats on a key convention platform committee — but it may not be enough to stop Sanders from picking a fight over the party’s policy positions,” the Washington Post reports.

“Allies of both Clinton and Sanders have urged Democratic leaders to meet some of Sanders’s more mundane demands for greater inclusion at the Philadelphia convention. Their decision to do so is expected to be finalized by the end of the week, according to two people familiar with the discussions. But growing mistrust between Sanders supporters and party leaders have threatened to undermine that effort.”

Rick Klein: “The one that has a second candidate vowing to fight to the end, to change the minds of delegates? The one that includes a campaign that sued the national party – not a threat, an actual lawsuit – claiming favoritism for a rival? The one that witnessed violent disruptions at a state party gathering, so bad that the state party is warning the national party about national convention violence? It is now overwhelmingly clear that the Democratic side of the race will not wind itself down into peace and togetherness. It is now conceivable, and perhaps probable, that the scene in Philadelphia is more raucous – and less glamorous – than the scene in Cleveland this summer.”

“Bernie Sanders shouldn’t be blamed for all that his supporters do and say, though neither is he blameless. His talk of a political revolution continues, and the strong suggestion he leaves voters with is less about Hillary Clinton’s qualifications than about the legitimacy of the Democratic Party’s nominating process.”

New York Times: “The rift developed after some in the labor movement, whose cash flow has dwindled and whose political clout has been increasingly imperiled, announced a partnership last week with a wealthy environmentalist, Tom Steyer, to help bankroll a new fund dedicated to electing Democrats.”

“That joint initiative enraged members of the nation’s biggest construction unions, already on edge about the rising influence of climate-change activists. The building-trades unions view Mr. Steyer’s environmental agenda as a threat to the jobs that can be created through infrastructure projects like new gas pipelines.”

Washington Post: “Obama has presided over a greater loss of electoral power for his party than any two-term president since World War II. And 2016 represents one last opportunity for him to reverse that trend.”

“The first big tests of the rebuilding efforts come Tuesday in Pennsylvania, where Obama is taking the unusual step of wading into two contested Democratic primaries, endorsing Senate hopeful Katie McGinty and Josh Shapiro, a Montgomery County official and early supporter of his who is hoping to become state attorney general.”
