Gov. Mark Dayton at Rochester Community and Technical College

Presidential politics is following Governor Mark Dayton as he continues pushing Republicans on a state bonding bill.  Hillary Clinton is now the presumptive Democratic nominee, and the governor was asked at Rochester Community and Technical College if, as a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention, he would consider “voting the will of the people of Minnesota” and supporting Senator Bernie Sanders.  The Vermont Democrat took 61 percent of the vote in Minnesota’s precinct caucuses in March.   Dayton responded he sat next to Hillary Clinton for six years in the U-S Senate, told her he supported her for president and “that’s a promise I intend to keep.”  Votes of superdelegates at the Democratic National Convention are not bound by the results of their states’ presidential primaries or caucuses.
