Democrats Fast Track Platform Backed By Delegates
New York AP reports Democrats are set to approve a platform promising an orderly beginning to national health insurance and a guaranteed minimum income. A potential floor clash could arise over abortion, with Missouri delegates pushing a minority report that would force a floor debate. The platform supports unemployment relief to 3 percent in four years and aims to turn unemployment checks into pay checks. It also proposes easing Hatch Act limits for federal workers while resisting abortion rights changes, and endorses mandatory busing as a last resort for racial integration.
