DNC Vice Chair Resigns to Back Sanders; Bill Clinton's Labor Secretary Endorses Sanders
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Sunday, Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii resigned as
a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee in order to endorse
Senator Bernie Sanders for president. Gabbard had clashed with DNC Chair
Debbie Wasserman Schultz-who co-chaired Hillary Clinton's 2008
presidential bid-over the number of debates, which is seen as favoring
Clinton over Sanders. Meanwhile, Robert Reich, who was labor secretary
under President Bill Clinton, also endorsed Sanders, saying he believes
"Bernie Sanders is the agent of change this nation so desperately
needs." We'll have more on the latest primary news after headlines.
