After suffering a series of primary loses, Bernie Sanders is beginning to cut field staffers from the campaign payroll.
Staffers that worked in states that voted Tuesday, such as Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Connecticut, were told to look for work elsewhere rather than stick with the campaign, according to a report from Politico. Sanders’ path to the Democratic nomination has become mathematically implausible but the Vermont senator is remaining in the race to influence the party platform.
While the Sanders campaign has raised almost as many millions of dollars as Clinton over the course of the primary, his campaign has been spending at an enormously high rate, dropping $46 million in campaign funds in March alone.
During a campaign stop in Indiana on Tuesday he told supporters “our job whether we win or do not win is to transform not only our country but the Democratic Party.”
