The Drama in the DNC

Ben and Jerry, the founders of the ice cream empire of the same name, have been outspoken supporters of presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders – even making him his own ice cream flavor Now they are joining Sanders by throwing their support behind Tim Canova – a Democrat who’s challenging DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in her congressional district race.In the ice cream founders’ endorsement video, Ben and Jerry explain why they give “two scoops” about Canova.Jerry starts off explaining how Canova is fighting to get big money out of politics, while Ben is “into getting Debbie Wasserman Schultz out of politics.”The two call it a “twofer” as they smush ice cream cones together.Sanders and his supporters have had a fraught relationship with Wasserman-Schultz since the beginning of the 2016 presidential election. Sanders’ endorsement of Canova – her opponent – also added fuel to his disapproval of the Florida congresswoman.Now that Hillary Clinton is the Democratic presumptive nominee, many pundits believe that Sanders is calling on the DNC to remove the Florida congresswoman in order for Clinton to gain Sanders’ endorsement.With help from Sanders’ camp, Canova has put up a strong fight against Wasserman-Schultz so far. His campaign announced today that they have raised over $2 million dollars , an average of $12,680 per day since he entered the race in January.The district is majority Democrat, so whoever wins the primary in on August 30, 2016 is nearly guaranteed to win in November.
