First Read's Morning Clips: Democrats Advance Most Liberal Platform Ever

 
OFF TO THE RACES: Democrats advance most liberal platform ever
 
CLINTON: Alex Seitz-Wald wraps up the latest work on the Democratic Party's draft platform: "Democrats this weekend advanced what is easily their most liberal platform ever as representatives of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton strove toward unity during a sometimes contentious party meeting. The draft platform, which still needs to be ratified at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia later this month, showed Sanders' clear influence, even though he lost a battle on his top priority: opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership."

It's official: Bernie Sanders will join Clinton on the campaign trail on Tuesday.

Just in case you were wondering: Nope, the email controversy is not going away.
 
USA Today writes: "As the Democratic National Convention prepares to make history by nominating a woman for president, women in national polls are giving Clinton the highest level of female support of any candidate in more than four decades and the widest gender gap ever recorded. Clinton's lead of a yawning 24 percentage points in the latest Pew Research Center Poll — not only among Democratic partisans but also from women who typically vote Republican — is an electoral challenge for the GOP that imperils Trump's ability to win the White House."
