Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was the only Democratic presidential candidate at the debate on Wednesday night to express support for idea that the candidate who has the plurality of votes heading into the Democratic National Convention should automatically get the nomination.
With eight candidates still in the Democratic primary race, there’s “a very good chance that none of you are going to have enough delegates” going into the convention to clinch the nomination, moderator Chuck Todd of NBC told the six candidates on stage. He asked them if the candidate with the most delegates should get the nomination even if they don’t have a majority of the delegates.
