PHILADELPHIA — On the heels of a tumultuous Republican convention, Hillary Clinton arrives in Philadelphia eager to show off a forward-looking Democratic Party united behind her steady leadership. To do that, she must overcome lingering bitterness among supporters of defeated Bernie Sanders and clean up a resurgent political mess of the party’s own making.
The resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee made for a rocky start on Sunday, as the Florida congresswoman heeded Sanders’ longstanding call to leave as party chief. Her departure comes a few days after the publication of 19,000 hacked emails, which Sanders said confirmed his belief the national party played favorites for Clinton during the primary.

The city is preparing for much
bigger demonstrations than the Republican convention last week in
Cleveland, and much higher temperatures.
In one of the largest rallies
planned for the day, a pro-Bernie Sanders group is expected to walk
across the Ben Franklin Bridge, which connects Camden, New Jersey, and
Philadelphia.
