Vermont Senator and 2016 Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders praised his party’s decision to limit the role of superdelegates over the weekend; blaming the complicated and politically-charged nomination process for his loss to Hillary Clinton.
“Today’s decision by the DNC is an important step forward in making the Democratic Party more open, democratic and responsive to the input of ordinary Americans," Sanders said in a statement.
“This has been a long and arduous process, and I want to thank Tom Perez and all of those who made it happen,” he added.
“Today is a historic day for our party," said the DNC chief. “We passed major reforms that will not only put our next presidential nominee in the strongest position possible, but will help us elect Democrats up and down the ballot, across the country.”
The new measure would bar superdelegates from voting on the first ballot during the nomination process, but would allow them to vote should a second ballot arise.
