Sen. Bernie Sanders doesn't think Michigan is 'make or break' for his campaign, but he's pouring resources in there. Joe Biden gets Sen. Kamala Harris' endorsement.
in the race to amass a majority of delegates to the Democratic convention, Bernie Sanders’ campaign is pouring resources into Michigan in advance of Tuesday’s primary, which is shaping up as a critical contest between the two.
Sanders won Michigan’s primary in 2016 in an upset against Hillary Clinton. But he faces a more challenging task this time around, both because Biden may be stronger among white, working-class voters in the state than Clinton proved to be and because of Biden’s strong support from black voters. His comments about establishment pressure put Sanders in the awkward position of sharing a theme pushed by President Trump, who habitually issues gibing tweets suggesting that the race for the nomination is rigged against Sanders, something he did again early Sunday.“We have now learned for sure that the Democrats don’t want anything to do with Crazy Bernie,” Trump wrote in aemploying his customary derogatory nickname for Sanders.
On Twitter, Biden offered thanks on behalf of his family, noting Harris’ friendship with his late son, Beau, when both were state attorneys general, she in California and he in Delaware. Sanders, in his CNN interview, was asked whether he thought sexism remained a barrier for female candidates, now that the race has essentially dwindled to two septuagenarian white men.
