UPDATE: 11 a.m., July 26, 2016
While Bernie Sanders repeated his message Tuesday morning that he'll be supporting Hillary Clinton in November, the first union to endorse his presidential bid says it will not switch its support, despite the Vermont senator's urging.
Katy Roemer is a board member of the California Nurses Association and an East Bay Sanders delegate.
While watching and booing speeches on the convention floor Monday night, Roemer said the union doesn't care that Sanders is campaigning for Clinton.
"We like to say jokingly ... he borrowed our platform," she says. "We have been long-term for single-payer, long-term for free public health care."
Political analysts credit the union with helping to legitimize Sanders's campaign with its early endorsement. If the union does not support a major party candidate, it would not be the first time. In 2000, the nurses backed Green Party candidate Ralph Nader.
UPDATE: 9 a.m., July 26, 2016
Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance Tuesday morning at a California delegation breakfast event during the second day of the Democratic National Convention.
He directly addressed the level of unrest within the delegation. Some members of the group have been vocal and booed through many of Monday night's speeches.
"Elections come and go, in my view, our immediate task, what we must do or forever look back and regret is defeat Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton," Sanders told the delegation.
Clinton is prepared to make history Tuesday as the first woman to be nominated.
Sanders supporters say they intend to go on protesting Tuesday.
CapRadio's Ben Bradford said it's important to note that the dissenting group is a minority within the California delegation — about 45 percent of pledged delegates. The overall number of delegates, both pledged and unpledged, is more than 500.
Bradford said it's unclear what will happen during roll call Tuesday, when delegates will announce a vote for the nomination.

The Democratic National Convention has showcased the challenge party leaders and the Hillary Clinton campaign face in bringing Bernie Sanders' most ardent supporters into the fold. But California delegates pose an extra challenge.
Sanders delegates were already booing the mention of Hillary Clinton and her vice-presidential pick Tim Kaine at the California Democratic Party Breakfast — as they would throughout the day and on the convention floor — but they had a special jeer for California Secretary of State Alex Padilla.
"Well, I can tell everyone is fired up, because I'm fired up, too, I'm fired up," Padilla said.
The crowd is chanting "Count the Vote" so loud it's hard to hear Padilla in the room.
"All right, if you all will settle down, we will address your questions, and I will explain how the ballots and the votes have been counted," he said.
It's counties, not the Secretary of State, that tally votes, and there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud. But rumors have swirled among Sanders supporters that Clinton somehow rigged the election.
"She stole this election, and there's no way I'm going to hand her my vote," said Los Angeles delegate Miguel Zuniga. "She never earned it. She burned my vote, and I'm going to keep Bernie. And the revolution continues with or without Bernie."
Secretary of State Padilla said he was caught off-guard by the chants.
"I don't know where it stems from, all I know is that we run a very open and transparent process," Padilla said. "Every county elections division as they're receiving ballots and counting ballots is open to the public for monitoring and review."
Padilla thinks media outlets projecting results on election night, while the state actually takes six weeks to go through millions more ballots helped create confusion and breed distrust of the results.
Regardless of the reasons, it will be hard for the Clinton campaign to attract California voters who think she stole the election.
