Sen. Bernie Sanders scored a partial victory with the Democratic Party which is ready to put breaking up Wall Street banks and a $15 minimum wage — among other items Sanders wants — into its party platform.
According to the Associated Press, a draft of the party’s platform will include those items, along with a push to abolish the death penalty. However, Sanders and his supporters did get rebuffed by backers of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on other key issues — including his push for a Medicare-for-all healthcare plan, a carbon tax and a fracking freeze.
