Democrats Unveil Committee to Draft Platform
The Democratic Party’s platform drafting committee includes a mix of longtime Joe Biden supporters as well as allies of his leading primary opponents, according to the list of members released Monday.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, an early Biden endorser who is under consideration to be his running mate, will chair the panel, the Democratic National Committee said. Another potential vice-presidential contender, Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth, is also part of the 15-member group.
Other Biden allies include Tom Vilsack, the former Iowa governor and interior secretary; Don Graves, a former Biden economic and domestic policy adviser; Julie Smith, a former Biden deputy national security adviser; and Tony Allen, the president of historically black Delaware State University.
Several people with ties to Bernie Sanders, Biden’s longest-lasting nomination opponent, are on the panel, including former campaign advisers Heather Gautney, Analilia Mejia and Josh Orton. The group also include two allies of another rival, Elizabeth Warren -- New Mexico Representative Deb Haaland, a co-chair of Warren’s presidential campaign, and Massachusetts Representative Katherine Clark.
