Some 68 percent of Democratic voters under the age of 24 back him versus just 26 percent backing Clinton, according to an NBC News Survey Monkey poll.
Chelsea Clinton Tuesday joined in on her mother’s jabs against Sanders, saying during a campaign event in New Hampshire that the Vermont senator wants to “dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the CHIP program, dismantle Medicare and private insurance”. Michael Briggs, a spokesperson for Sanders, told the Washington Post on Wednesday that the campaign is readying a new proposal but has not determined when it will be released. Weaver did not return a request for comment on Wednesday.
“Our next president can’t shy away from building on the progress of President Obama, which is why Hillary Clinton is the candidate that we need in the White House”, Holder said in a statement.
Clinton also attacked Sanders call for a national single payer health care system. “Now we are in the sprint to the finish line”, she said.
As Sanders edges ahead of Clinton in the polls in Iowa and increases his margin in New Hampshire, the former first lady has been sharpening her attacks against him, especially on his gun control record.
Hillary Clinton is sharpening her attacks on Bernie Sanders – and even her criticism of the Obama administration – as polls show her losing ground to her closest primary rival in key states. There’s yet more evidence in Clinton’s emails that classified information was mishandled while she was serving as secretary of State, and a report by Fox News states the FBI has expanded its investigation to examine possible “public corruption” resulting from the connection between her work at the Clinton Foundation and her tenure at the department.
“I have said what I would do to improve the Affordable Care Act”, she told ABC. “And he had promised that he would roll out his tax plans before the Iowa caucus on February 1”.
Bernie Sanders casts himself as the voice of anti-establishment politics, fueling his insurgent rise in the Democratic primaries as a principled fighter unwilling to compromise for political gain. “Sanders so that they can judge for themselves whether it makes sense”, Sullivan said.
She says he was probably referring to her time as Secretary of State when it would have been inappropriate for her to talk about domestic issues.
The Bernie Sanders campaign is winning Democratic voter’s hearts while the Hillary Clinton campaign is running on electability, MSNBC’s Chuck Todd said Wednesday on Morning Joe.
Throughout the course of his campaign, Sanders has advocated for a universal system that would guarantee healthcare “as a right” to all Americans.
Less than three weeks shy of the first primary election, Hillary Clinton is losing her once-sizable lead on Bernie Sanders, the self-proclaimed socialist senator from Vermont.
The New York Times reports that Clinton hosted 100 supporters at the Portsmouth Brewery in Portsmouth, N.H. While there, she cupped her belly (Clinton is pregnant with her second child), and apologized for not being able to actually drink anything.
