Five years ago, Debbie Wasserman Schultz was put in charge of the Democratic National Committee to usher in a new era for the party. Now, Wasserman Schultz is on the outs after an email scandal is rocking the party on the eve of its convention.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says Debbie Wasserman Schultz made the right decision for the Democratic Party's future by resigning as part chair. Sanders says Democrats need new leadership "that will open the doors of the party and welcome in working people and young people."
Emotions ran high following Ted Cruz's speech at the Republican National Convention Wednesday night. The Texas senator defiantly refused to endorse Donald Trump for president, drawing jeers and shouts from the audience, especially the New York delegation.
It has been an open secret for some time that one of the weakest elements of the extended Democratic Party family under US President Barack Obama has been the Democratic National Committee. It has been a neglected institution that has become a public embarrassment on the eve of a national convention designed to highlight party unity.

The jockeying for positioning in the next Republican presidential contest has already begun - and at this week's convention, a couple of people were able to separate themselves from what is certain to be as large of a glut of contenders as there were in the 2016 cycle. Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Joni Ernst of Iowa, and Ted Cruz of Texas were all on hand.
Bernie Sanders delegates, furious over Hillary Clinton's vice presidential pick and leaked emails showing the Democratic Party was helping Hillary Clinton, said Sunday they're seeking their own vice presidential candidate and weighing protests on the floor. They have no alternative to Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., Clinton's running mate in mind yet.
After convention, Clinton and Kaine to visit Ohio One of Hillary Clinton's first stops after the Democratic National Convention this week will be - where else - Ohio. Check out this story on cincinnati.com: http://cin.ci/2aaQ1pa Hillary Clinton arrives with Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., at a rally at Florida International University Panther Arena in Miami on July 23, 2016.
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not be speaking or presiding at this week's Democratic National Convention - a huge blow caused by the leak of internal DNC emails that suggested favoritism toward Hillary Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders during the primary. Instead, Rep. Marcia Fudge of Ohio will chair the convention, gaveling in and out each day's proceedings, CNN reported Sunday.
Donald Trump Jr. said Sunday he's open to running for public office some day - quoting his father's advice that ""we always like to keep our options open." In an interview with CNN's "State of the Union," the eldest son of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said his "100 percent focus" is to help his father win in November amid buzz about his political future.
His wife spoke briefly at the end of the service, telling parishioners how important they've been in their lives. Kaine told reporters outside the church: "We needed some prayers today and we got some prayers and it really feels good."
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is joined by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., as she speaks at a rally at Florida International University Panther Arena in Miami, Saturday, July 23, 2016. Clinton has chosen Kaine to be her running mate.
This Sunday, the Democratic National Convention gets underway here in Philadelphia, after a raucous and unpredictable Republican convention. That ended with the nomination of Donald Trump.
Sen. Bernie Sanders called the leak of Democratic National Committee emails suggesting a bias against his presidential campaign "outrageous" and reiterated his call for DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign. "It is not a great shock to me," Sanders said during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning.
Sen. Bernie Sanders offered his support for the choice of Sen. Tim Kaine as the Democratic vice presidential nominee, though he did so by calling it a vast improvement over the Republican alternative more than offering a testament to Kaine's liberal bona fides. Speaking to CNN's "State of the Union," Sanders acknowledged that he and Kaine were not always ideologically in symmetry.

Sen. Tim Kaine received a hero's welcome outside his Richmond home, capping off his debut as Hillary Clinton's running mate. Hundreds of neighbours and other well-wishers greeted Kaine and his wife, Anne Holton, on their return to their home in Richmond on a hot and sticky Saturday night.
If there were over 19,000 leaked emails from the RNC, including questionable interactions with the press, possible collusion, cover-ups, fake protesters, fake craigslist ads, temper tantrums from top officials, and a literal attempt to undermine a primary candidate over and over in favor of the chosen one, the coverage on the cable news networks would be wall to wall. I wouldn't even be surprised if the news came by way of breaking into prime time on a broadcast network.
Tim Kaine made a big splash Saturday in his first appearance as Hillary Clinton's running mate for the White House, savaging Donald Trump's foreign policy ideas as dangerous and wowing a Miami crowd with fluent Spanish. Kaine, a 58-year-old senator from the battleground state of Virginia, won many a cheer and laugh and frequent applause as he addressed a campaign rally one day after being tapped for the Democratic ticket.
