Sanders also won West Virginia with 51 percent to 35 percent.
The West Virginia state party went one step further than Gabbard, calling for the removal and replacement of Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
“If she does not resign in a timely manner, we call on the Democratic National Committee [to] take whatever steps are necessary and proper to remove her and install a new Chairperson,” the resolution reads.
Last month, Sanders backed Wasserman’s opponent in the Florida congressional primary Tim Canova, and characterized the head of the DNC as a divider rather than a unifier:
“It’s been pretty clear almost from the get-go that she has been working against Bernie Sanders—I mean, there’s no doubt about it—for personal reasons,” Weaver said, again ticking through the criticisms he launched earlier, but this time adding that the chairwoman “appointed really hostile Hillary Clinton partisans” to head standing committees, too.
“Debbie Wasserman Schultz has really been a divider and not really provided the kind of leadership that the Democratic Party needs,” he said.
