He may walk away from Tuesday with only a single win, or possibly none, yielding few delegates, but Bernie Sanders isn’t dropping out yet.
The press secretary for the Vermont senator’s presidential campaign tweeted out that the public shouldn’t expect any news about the Democratic primary ending any time soon.
“I, for one, am extremely excited about this debate all the moderates are panicking about,” wrote Briahna Joy Gray, referencing the upcoming debate on Sunday in Phoenix. “The delegate count difference is only about 150 points out of 4051 total. America finally gets to see Biden defend his ideas, or lack there of, on Sunday.”
Gray’s tweets come as a surprise after Sanders’s resounding loss in Michigan, a state he narrowly won against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016. His victory there during the last primary cycle was thought to indicate his strength among white working-class voters in swing states.
On Tuesday, CNN, the host of the debate, said the event would be held without a live audience. Since Sanders’s poor performance on Super Tuesday, individuals close to the campaign have repeatedly said they believe Sunday’s debate would change the trajectory of the race.
