Sanders wins Oregon, battles Clinton in Ky.; Trump wins Ore

Meanwhile, Donald Trump won the Republican presidential primary in OR, adding another state to the presumptive GOP nominee’s tally of victories.

California Senator Barbara Boxer, who was at the Nevada convention and has called what happened there “terrible”, insisted it was time the Sanders campaign took responsibility, for fear the national convention turns ugly. “We’re always stronger united”. Trump said in a tweet soon after being declared the victor of the OR primary. It came to a head in Nevada this weekend, when Sanders supporters tussled with party leaders over what they saw as an unfair advantage for Clinton delegates and representatives in the state.

Biden’s comments are a sign he could play the role of peacemaker between supporters of Clinton and Sanders, who have run an increasingly contentious campaign despite the fact the former secretary of State possesses a virtually insurmountable delegate lead.

“What happened at that convention was unacceptable”, said Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, laying the blame heavily on Sanders’ supporters by saying they should “address process concerns in a civil way” in a Tuesday night interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. He had yet to win a contest that allowed only registered Democrats to participate before OR, and owes most of his wins to independent voters. The billionaire businessman picked up nine delegates on Tuesday in Guam, which held its territorial convention in March, and had 1,143 delegates heading into the OR contest, fewer than 100 delegates short of the 1,237 he needs to clinch the nomination. For the Democrats, there are 55 delegates up for grabs in Kentucky and 61 in Oregon.

Sanders had counted on a Kentucky victory to build on his win last week in neighboring West Virginia as he battles to keep his long-shot nomination bid alive.

On Sunday, she told a crowd her husband would be “in charge of revitalizing the economy, because, you know, he knows how to do it” in a future Clinton administration. “I recognize that. But we have a possibility of going to Philadelphia with a majority of pledged delegates”. “I want to help to bring back the kind of economy that worked for everybody in the 1990s”.

“I like them both”. But she was more expansive in taking aim at Mr Trump, calling him a “loose cannon” and warning about his views on foreign policy, which she said “will be a big part of the general election”.

“I will not vote for you. She’s got a little broader base and more experience, especially with foreign policy”. After reports that the state chairwoman faced threats from Sanders supporters, his campaign manager Jeff Weaver said on CNN that “we condemn that, absolutely, categorically”.

“Benghazi and the emails?”

The largely white, liberal, homogenous state was the flawless place for a Sanders victory. Sanders secured the endorsement of Sen.

The Democratic primary now hits a two-week lull, with the final set major contests, including California, scheduled for June 7.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, who is one of Oregon’s 13 Democratic superdelegates, told The Associated Press that she won’t reconsider her Clinton endorsement and it’s time for Sanders to step out of the way.
