Bernie sanders just sent a message to his protests and asked them not to disrupt this convention. The unity of the Democratic Party was challenged earlier today as a new leader kicked off the convention two hours ago and today the fbi now involved in thing hacked emails that suggest the the dnc supported clinton over sanders during the primaries. We will give you an allaccess pass over the next four davis dnc right here in philadelphia. We have every report and photojournalist covering everything thats happening and how it could affect you, and right now we have reporters on every level inside the wells fargo center. We begin with nbc 10s george spencer. George . And, jim, the crowd down here on the floor already boisterous after nearly a year and a half of preparation. This is an historic moment for the city of philadelphia and historic nomination of a female candidate, but it all comes at a time of deep discord within the Democratic Party. With the drop of the gavel and loud cheers this afternoon, the 2016 Democratic National Convention Officially launched 16 years after our heavily democratic city hosted its last convention, but for the Democratic Party leader who helped organize it all, a fast and stunning downfall. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was nearly booed off the stage by her home state florida delegation this morning thanks to the email leak scandal seeming to show Party Leaders biassed in favor of Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. Its unfortunate, real unfortunate. Reporter this delegate from Wasserman Schultz home state believes its the only path forward. Shes looking at the Bigger Picture that the democrats continue to hold white house. Reporter among sanders protests on the floor this afternoon division runs very deep. I think it is time for the corrupt democratic politicians to fall on their sword and realize that theres a movement happening, and its not going to stop. Unifying that, quote, movement with clintons establishment support will be a central challenge for the Democratic Party during its week in our city, and at least for now, as it all begins, delaware super delegate lisa goodman is optimistic. Primaries always leave some hard feelings and i think its inevitable that that always happens. The job of us as delegates and us as a party will leave philadelphia united and i think we will. And tonight were expecting to hear more on that theme of unity. Specifically as it relates to American Families and the American Economy and among big name speakers tonight, philadelphia mayor jim kenny. Reporting live from the Democratic National convention floor, im george spencer, nbc 10 news. Jim, back up to you. Objection george.

The crowd booed when sanders said, quote, we need to elect Hillary Clinton. Nbc 10s lauren mayk joining us live from the floor of the wells fargo center. Lauren . Can you hear me lauren . I just spoke with a delegate who received that email that you mentioned. That email from Bernie Sanders that went out by text and email, and it told supporters that they could damage this movement that they had helped create by booing or otherwise demonstrating here on the floor but that for some a very difficult task because this is something they are very passionate about. They have spent a lot of time working on this, and they are not quite ready to just be adored by the Democratic Party yet. They still want to have their voices heard. Earlier today a large group of delegates gathered at the Convention Center in philadelphia where they actually got to hear from Bernie Sanders and hearing from them tonight and they got to hear from him today. Take a listen. Immediately right now we have got to defeat donald trump. And we have got to elect Hillary Clinton and tim kaine. [ crowd booing ] i think the Republican Party has excluded themselves out of the serious dialogue if you look at the pure darkness they had at their convention. Im looking for light and inspiration. Reporter what are your feelings as youre waiting for in . I heard bernies speeches a lot of times. He probably is going to give the same speech that he gave us in in the delegates speech this afternoon so, you know, the really good part to this speech hell talk a lot about how it is that the revolution continues from here. Reporter so a lot of anticipation to hear from Bernie Sanders himself today and hear what he has to say. This time he will be addressing not just his own delegates but Hillary Clintons delegates as well. And, jim, as we are down here on the floor, were going to throw things back up to you, looking down on this convention. Jim . All right, lauren mayk, thank you.
