Michigan, 3 de junio

Los demócratas de Michigan ya se han puesto de acuerdo en el 3 de junio para repetir la primaria demócrata del estado. Ahora sólo falta que la legislatura estatal lo apruebe, las campañas de los dos candidatos interesados se pongan de acuerdo, y que el Comité Nacional Demócrata de su visto bueno.

"This option would require the passage of legislation by the state legislature, and we look forward to working with the members of the legislature in the coming days to see if this option can be made a reality," the Democrats said.
