PHILADELPHIA — Bernie Sanders is trying to calm the revolution.

Monday afternoon, according to a Democratic Party official, the Vermont senator’s team reached out to Hillary Clinton's campaign, worried that his supporters could create problems as the Democratic convention kicks off here Monday. Indeed, Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s resignation as Democratic National Committee chair has so far not quieted Sanders' supporters after a WikiLeaks email dump suggested the party put a thumb on the scale for the front-runner.


Texted from Sanders' account: "I ask you as a personal courtesy to me to not engage in any kind of protest on the floor. It's of utmost importance you explain this to your delegations — Bernie."

There are also plans for an email from his account urging calm.

The campaigns have merged their floor whip teams, with the Sanders campaign putting former NAACP president and top supporter Ben Jealous in place to try to calm Sanders supporters.

The action comes after a meeting between top Clinton aide Marlon Marshall and Sanders deputy campaign manager Rich Pelletier.

Clinton campaign officials, however, remain concerned that the Wells Fargo Center could erupt in boos and other protest displays, and the work remains underway to collaborate on plans to head those off.

Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Correction: This story incorrectly stated that Sanders tweeted to supporters. He texted.
