In a win for Bernie Sanders, the AFL-CIO is delaying making it’s endorsement in the surprisingly close Democratic presidential primary.
………
“Following recent discussion at the AFL-CIO’s Executive Committee meeting and subsequent conversations with many of you, I have concluded that there is broad consensus for the AFL-CIO to remain neutral in the presidential primaries for the time being and refrain from endorsing any candidate at this moment,” Trumka said in the email.
Oh to be a fly on the wall for that Executive Committee meeting.
My guess is that committee did not want to deal with a pissed off rank and file, particularly when they want to energize them in the general election.
Also, I think that they are beginning to doubt her inevitability.
