Del. Heather R. Mizeur of Takoma Park has consistently declined to discuss her thinking. "I'm not interested in talking about that right now," she said.

Clinton's campaign has reserved the right to challenge the DNC's ruling on Michigan delegates, but party leaders are discouraging such an effort and are working to make sure that tomorrow's primaries mark the end of the nominating contest and the start of the general election campaign.
