Clinton raises $26 million in April for primary bid
The comments from Bernie Sanders come just one day before the IN primary.
Hillary Clinton greets the audience during a campaign stop in Athens, Ohio, on Tuesday. In the new poll, 41% say they would be enthusiastic about her candidacy, up from 34% in March.
Sanders’ next stop in furthering his political revolution is West Virginia, where he is now campaigning. Trump needs 1,237 delegates to capture the nomination at the Republican National Convention.
This means the Vermont senator will have to rely on his strategy of winning over superdelegates – party leaders and elites who can back the candidate of their choice – who have already chose to back his rival Hillary Clinton. And there seems to be party consensus that this is a good thing; a poll released this week by NBC News and Survey Monkey found that 57% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters want Sanders to stay in the race until the convention.
Campbell said that the rumored alliance, in which Cruz and Kasich’s campaigns have possibly coordinated their game plans so that Kasich would not actively campaign in IN and Cruz would do the same in later states where Kasich was polling higher, may have stopped Kasich from winning some support in certain areas. But Republican primary voters have stuck with the billionaire businessman, handing him victories in every region of the country, including a string of six straight wins on the East Coast.
Sanders has been doing well in places where the Democratic electorate is whiter, and Hillary cleans up with minority voters, so that news isn’t t0o odd either, but the bump in turnout is worth noting.
Trump is more toxic within his own party than Clinton is in hers.
Exit polls conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press showed Clinton was drawing the support of black voters and Sanders was attracting younger voters.
In a face-to-face exchange Monday with an emotional, unemployed West Virginia coal miner, Clinton apologized and suggested the comment was taken out of context.
Sanders could also do well in liberal Oregon.
Ninety-one percent (91%) of Democrats now say Clinton is likely to be their party’s nominee.
“I will continue to run an issue-oriented campaign”, Sanders said.
Sanders, meanwhile, is holding events in Kentucky on Tuesday, which holds its Democratic primary on May 17. “I’m going to be in it until the last vote is cast”.
