The Las Vegas Sun reports:
The Culinary Union, the most influential union in Nevada politics, has decided to stay out of the state's Democratic presidential caucuses, denying candidates who aggressively courted the group from getting a major leg up in the upcoming contest.
…
“We have weighed each candidate and believe the best thing we can do for Nevada, for our members and for greater voter participation, is to focus not on delivering for a candidate, rather to deliver voters to the caucus and then to the general election,” Geoconda Argüello-Kline, the secretary-treasurer for the Culinary Union, will say at a Thursday afternoon news conference, according to prepared remarks.
That is good news for Sanders, who was expected to not be endorsed, after the Union’s criticism of his Medicare for All plan. It’s disappointing for Warren and Biden, who have lagged in Iowa and New Hampshire, and would have benefitted from an endorsement before the upcoming caucus.
