For the first time in 24 years, Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not get the endorsement of the AFL-CIO.
The National AFL-CIO sent out an advisory stating there would be no endorsement of Democrats who voted in favor of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Wasserman Schultz’s vote in favor of the TPP, as well as her role in pushing the Democratic Party to the right, were the major bones of contention delegates cited.
Some feel she attempted to stack the deck in Hillary Clinton’s favor.
A DNC member, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said perhaps now that Wasserman Schultz has been relieved of her duties, the picketing that routinely went on at the DNC will stop, and things can get back to normal. The national convention is coming up, and the party is preparing to officially nominate its standardbearer, and unite to defeat Donald Trump.
As far as Fla. CD 23, things are just starting to heat up and a lot of eyes will be on that race to see if Canova can pull off in Florida what Dave Brat pulled off in Virginia, when he defeated Eric Cantor.
et tu, Trumka?
