democratic primary

The mayor of South Bend, Ind., sat down for NPR's Off Script interview series with presidential candidates. Buttigieg says "being newer on the scene" is a boost to his candidacy.

NPR has learned that Hillary Clinton's campaign had an agreement, separate from one also signed by Bernie Sanders' campaign, providing control over party decisions in exchange for relieving DNC debt.

Lucy Flores was among the first endorsements Sanders made earlier this year, and his fundraising plea helped the former Nevada legislator raise over $600,000 for her competitive Democratic primary.

After a bruising loss in the Palmetto State eight years ago, Clinton crushed rival Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by nearly 50 points in the Democratic primary.
