The delegate began by reading the names of his and Bernie's parents, Eli Sanders and Dorothy Glassberg Sanders. "They did not have easy lives and they died young," he said. "They would be immensely proud of their son and his accomplishments. They loved him."

He added that his parents "loved" Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, and would be "especially proud that Bernard is renewing that vision."

The Vermont senator appeared visibly emotional as his brother spoke. Sanders ended his nomination by saying, "It is with enormous pride that I cast my vote for Bernie Sanders."

The Americans Abroad delegation cast 10 votes for Sanders and seven for Hillary Clinton.
