Sanders' allies wanted the draft to specify that a $15 per hour minimum wage should be indexed with inflation. A draft of the Democratic Party's policy positions reflects the influence of Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign: endorsing steps to break up large Wall Street banks, advocating a $15 hourly wage, urging an end to the death penalty. "Our job is to pass the most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic Party," he said. Clinton's side struck down that idea, noting the document included a call to "raise and index the minimum wage." Sanders has pushed for a $15-an-hour minimum wage.
