Hillary Clinton attack on Bernie Sanders backfires
New national polling is showing Bernie Sanders gaining ground on Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, casting into doubt Clinton as the inevitable nominee for the party, and recalling the 2008 race where Clinton was eventually beaten by underdog Barack Obama.

Michael Briggs, Sander’s communications director told ABC News in statement that the campaign planned “all along” to release medical information from his physician before the primaries and caucuses. “People don’t want a recycling of Bill Clinton’s presidency.
