Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton declared her enthusiastic support Tuesday for U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, detouring her campaign to personally deliver her seal of approval.

"I'm here today with a very simple message: I can't think of anyone who [more] deserves your support for re-election, starting with the primary on August 30th, than my friend Debbie. And I am committed to doing whatever I can to support her as she returns to the Congress with your support," Clinton told about 50 people at Wasserman Schultz's campaign headquarters in Davie. "Please do everything you can to make sure Debbie has a resounding victory on August 30th."

• Wasserman Schultz's challenger, Tim Canova, has been endorsed by Bernie Sanders, the candidate Clinton defeated for the Democratic presidential nomination. Contributions from Sanders supporters have fueled Canova's campaign and, many of the people working on his effort are Sanders veterans.

Leaked Emails Show DNC Staffers Keeping Close Eye on Tim Canova's Rise

http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/leaked-emails-show-dnc-staffers-keeping-close-eye-on-tim-canovas-rise-8626585


Update: Tim Canova says he will file an election complaint against the DNC over the email leaks, which he contends show Debbie Wasserman Schultz breaking election rules. "Our lawyers are preparing a complaint against Wasserman Schultz that we will file with the FEC for her wrongful use of DNC resources in her campaign against me, based on the WikiLeaks disclosures,"

--

Update 10:45 a.m.: It appears Debbie Wasserman Schultz personally asked staff to remove Tim Canova's name from a headline in a statement sent out after Bernie Sanders endorsed Canova.


Original post: The fallout from the trove of Democratic National Committee emails published by WikiLeaks has been swift. Bernie Sanders supporters have raged over his treatment by DNC staffers, and our own Debbie Wasserman Schultz has had to step down as the organization's head.


But the leak also shows that DNC staffers were watching closely as Sanders-fueled money and support rolled in for Tim Canova, Wasserman Schultz's upstart challenger in the August 30 Democratic primary.

1. Oh my!

[baldguy]

2. Nowhere in either of those articles does it state that the emails were STOLEN by RUSSIA

and distributed with the sole intention of helping TRUMP.

3. In the House DWS will be another vote for Clinton's Supreme Court noms.

As well as any policies & funding.
Cannova is an outsider, something we have too many of, and cannot be relied upon to back the President.

Oh My! is right.

[MurrayDelph]

8. The House

doesn't vote on Supreme Court nominees.

[misterhighwasted]

11. Apologies but the House holds the purse for funding & more.

Intention is to vote to change the Senate & House. It is the assurance to getting all that Clinto's platform has been about.
No thanks to Cannova. 90% of his funding comes from outside FL. Do those 90% represent Fl voters best interests?
Nope.

12. Debbie Wasserman Schultz should not even be running for re-election

You know—the WikiLeaks DNC e-mails.

[Demsrule86]

15. Russian emails don't affect me

And there was nothing that she personally did. It is a free country...she will probably be re-elected.

13. payday loans are good

for Fla. residents?

10. Too many "outsiders"?

[Lucinda]

4. Thank you for the post!

[G_j]

5. Well....

Cannova is a Democrat too..

[Dem2]

6. Well clutch my pearls!

7. UPSTART challenger?! A primary SHOULD presuppose a challenger!

[deathrind]

9. Of course.

[democrattotheend]

14. That's surprising

I thought Hillary and her staff wanted DWS out of the DNC as much as Bernie's team did.

[Demsrule86]

16. She is out of the DNC

She is not running anything at the DNC, but she has every right to run for re-election. Honestly, I think she has been treated unfairly.
