Because of the DNC’s arbitrary rules, I won’t be on stage in Houston next month.
The DNC is stifling debate at a time when we need it most. These rules have created exactly the wrong outcomes and they will not help us beat Donald Trump.
But this fight is far from over.
I won’t be stopped by the DNC's unprecedented and counterproductive process that rewards celebrities, billionaires who can buy their way in, and perma-candidates who have been running for decades.
This campaign has never been about being center stage.
It’s about building the kind of country that our children deserve. Not one that separates families, or underfunds schools, or refuses to protect our planet.
As a senator from a purple state, I’ve never known an easy election, and when I decided to run for president, I knew the road ahead would be long.
