WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that she would favor restaging the Florida and Michigan primaries if the Democratic National Committee continues to insist that the primaries’ original results won’t be counted.
At an appearance before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Clinton said she still believed that the results of the two primaries, which were held in January in violation of national Democratic Party rules, were “fair and they should be honored.”
But she added that if the Democratic National Committee remains adamant, then the primaries should be held again.
In Tallahassee, Florida state Sen. Steve Geller, the Senate Democratic leader, released a poll he commissioned showing that 59 percent of Florida Democrats who voted Jan. 29 support a do-over.
