Clinton, Democratic Hopefuls To Address DNC Members

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Democratic National Committee says all five of the party's main presidential candidates will address DNC members next month.

Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb will speak at the DNC summer meeting in Minneapolis on Aug. 28.

DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman, says the DNC's members will leave the meeting "inspired to redouble their efforts" to win the White House in 2016.

The five major Democratic candidates spoke at a Democratic party fundraiser in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, earlier this month.
