Elizabeth Warren accuses Bernie Sanders of seeking an unfair 'advantage' in the Democratic primary with his about-face on the question of how many delegates a candidate must amass before clinching the party's nomination
Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday accused Bernie Sanders of seeking an unfair "advantage" in the Democratic primary with his about-face on the question of how many delegates a candidate must amass before clinching the party's presidential nomination.
Sanders has insisted that any candidate who arrives at the Democratic National Convention with a plurality of delegates be awarded the party's nomination, even though Democratic National Committee rules stipulate that the nominee must win a majority of delegates. The Vermont senator's position has sparked criticism from some who have noted that he took the exact opposite position when he ran for president in 2016 and lost to Hillary Clinton.
The other candidates onstage — former Vice President Joe Biden; former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg; former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg; Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar; and Warren — all agreed a majority of the delegates is needed to secure the nomination, per the party's rules. "Those are the rules that he wanted to write and others wanted to write. Everybody got in the race thinking that was the set of rules," she continued. "I don't see how come you get to change it just because he now thinks there's an advantage to him for doing that."
