Bernie Sanders says more delegates will join his cause now that Donald Trump’s nearest rival, Ted Cruz, is out of the race for the Republican nomination.
“I think that as more and more to the Democratic convention take a hard look at which candidate is generating the kind of enthusiasm, excitement, voter turnout that we need to make sure that somebody like a Donald Trump does not become president,” Sanders told reporters in New Albany, Ind., Tuesday evening after winning Indiana’s Democratic primary. “I think that you will see more and more delegates concluding that that candidate is Bernie Sanders.”
While Sanders beat out Hillary Clinton in the Hoosiers State on Tuesday, Sanders needs to convince superdelegates, who overwhelmingly support Clinton, to back his campaign if he wants to swipe the nomination away from the former secretary of state.
But Sanders isn’t counting himself out.
“I understand that Secretary Clinton thinks that this campaign is over, I’ve got some bad news for her,” Sanders said to cheers.
