Bernie Sanders

The former presidential candidate has endorsed an Oregon initiative that would raise taxes on many large corporations doing business in Oregon.

Allison Frost of OPB's Think Out Loud headed to Philadelphia's famous Reading Terminal Market to talk with locals about the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is personally urging his Oregon delegates to support Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, but many have met his plea with silence.  

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden take the stage and Sen. Tim Kaine formerly accepts his nomination as Hillary Clinton's running mate. Here are three things to watch on Day 3.

Hillary Clinton will formally be nominated by the party Tuesday night and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, will address the convention. Also, members of the Mothers of the Movement group will speak.

Think Out Loud Host Dave Miller and OPB's Senior Political Reporter Jeff Mapes discuss the action-packed and boo-filled first day of the DNC.

Bernie Sanders is expected to speak hot on the heels of the ousting of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Also, Oregon will be represented by Sen. Jeff Merkley and Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek.

They argue that Sen. Jeff Merkley — the only senator to back Bernie Sanders in the primary — would help unify the Democratic Party behind presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton.

Bernie Sanders won the Democratic presidential primary in Oregon on Tuesday night. The senator from Vermont won nearly every county in Oregon, capturing  54 percent of the vote. 

Bernie Sanders made it official Tuesday: his populist message plays in Oregon.
