AFL-CIO Declines to Endorse Clinton
In a win for Bernie Sanders, the AFL-CIO is delaying making it's endorsement in the surprisingly close Democratic presidential primary.Oh to be a fly on the wall for that Executive Committee meeting.
………
"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.
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.
