Wasserman Schultz to resign abruptly after DNC email hack
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, announced her decision to resign Sunday amid controversy over leaked emails that exposed the DNC's underhanded efforts to stifle Sen. Bernie Sanders' popularity during the primary. Her resignation will become effective at the end of the convention, where she had already been stripped of her prime-time speaking role as calls for her to step down grew louder over the weekend.

DNC emails stoke distrust, anger among Sanders delegates
"A party that calls itself Democratic should be democratic," California delegate Jim Boylston said on Sunday. "It's not." "They had a lot of nerve," Sanders supporter Cynthia Bagley said after a climate rally at City Hall. "They called Bernie supporters conspiracy theorists. But we were right. They had their queen, and they wanted to coronate her."

Clinton aide claims Russians hacked DNC to help Trump
Hillary Clinton's campaign manager claimed Sunday that Russian hackers stole tens of thousands of emails from the Democratic National Committee as a means of helping Donald Trump in the election. Robby Mook, during an interview Sunday on ABC's "This Week," told host George Stephanopoulos that although Russians had claimed responsibility for hacking the party's internal servers and stealing the information, their motive may not have been just to help their state leaders.

Priebus: Fall of Wasserman Schultz was inevitable
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday the resignation of his Democratic counterpart was "inevitable" given the exposure of the party's preference for Hillary Clinton over her primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, when internal emails were leaked on Friday. "I know firsthand how hard it is being chair of a national party, but when you rig a system ... I think this kind of outcome is inevitable, and there is no way out," Priebus said one day before the Democratic National Convention.

Clinton names Wasserman Schultz honorary chair of campaign team
No sooner had Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned under a cloud Sunday afternoon than Hillary Clinton chose her as honorary chair of her campaign's 50-state program. In a thank-you letter of sorts, Clinton said the Miami congresswoman will serve as a surrogate for her national campaign, helping the team in Florida and other key states. "I look forward to campaigning with Debbie in Florida and helping her in her re-election bid - because as president, I will need fighters like Debbie in Congress who are ready on day one to get to work for the American people," Clinton wrote.

How Hillary Clinton got to Philadelphia
Hillary Clinton's second attempt to secure the Democratic presidential nomination always had the makings of a coronation. Serious challengers dutifully remained on the sidelines, donors lined up to fill her coffers, and the primary was deliberately structured in her favor. But even seasoned soothsayers failed to foretell the phenomenon that was Bernie Sanders' progressive insurgency.

Clinton vows not to wage 'insult-fest' vs. 'vicious' Trump
Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and her running mate Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine said Sunday they will not follow Donald Trump's example of name-calling and hurling insults at rivals. CBS "60 Minutes" host Scott Pelley asked the former secretary of state, whom Trump refers to as "Crooked Hillary," what nickname she has for him. "I don't call him anything," she replied. "And I'm not going to engage in that kind of insult-fest that he seems to thrive on."

York: Donald Trump won -- and he can't get over it
Donald Trump was widely criticized for replaying old fights with Ted Cruz at a news conference the morning after Trump's acceptance speech to the Republican convention. It's true - there was no reason for Trump to rehash (again) and explain (again) his attacks on Cruz's wife Heidi and father Rafael. Beyond that, Trump also stepped on news coverage of his speech. But the biggest problem with what Trump did Friday was he showed that, even as he has entered the general election campaign, he cannot move beyond the Republican primaries. Yes, it was a big deal that Trump defeated 16 rivals for the GOP crown. But that's over, and it's time to move on, yet Trump can't seem to.

Priebus: Trump wasn't claiming to be 'factual' when he linked Cruz's dad to JFK assassin
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday said that Donald Trump wasn't claiming to be passing on "factual information" when he linked Sen. Ted Cruz's dad to President Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald a day after accepting the Republican presidential nomination. "He's got a right to talk about whatever he wants to talk about, however, I don't think he was ever saying this was some sort of factual information," Priebus said at a press conference on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.

Barone: What's 'Making America One Again' about?
The analysis of Donald Trump's speech as "dark" and "dystopian" is mostly just partisan spin. The candidate of the out party invariably takes a dim view of the way things are going. And when two-thirds of voters think the nation is not moving in the right direction, pessimism does not go against the grain. That's why you heard similar pessimism, although about different things, in the campaign for the Democratic nomination.

DNC debated banning Bernie delegate for 'throwing shade' on Wasserman Schultz
High-ranking Democratic National Committee staff debated whether to bar a Bernie Sanders supporter from attending a fundraiser because she had written tweets "throwing shade" on party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Tennessee activist Amanda Kruel had sent "multiple tweets throwing shade on DWS," Alan Reed, compliance director for the DNC, noted in a May 19, 2016 email released through the massive WikiLeaks disclosure. Reed added that Kruel was a "staunch Bernie supporter and campaign staffer" who had been elected a delegate in Tennessee's party meetings.
