Bernie Sanders, acknowledging 'narrow path' to nomination, continues to push agenda amid pandemic.
The crew discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the politics of Washington, D.C., and the 2020 presidential race.
Down over 300 pledged delegates to Biden and with that"narrow path" to a spot on November's ballot appearing even steeper than the one in front of him at this point in 2016, Sanders continues to face questions about why he is choosing to remain in the race -- particularly with President Trump's approval rating ticking up slightly in recent weeks, leading many Democrats to believe that it is more important than ever for the party to unite.
Emails from Sanders campaign to supporters have been missing their typical appeal for donations to his campaign. Instead, the emails have called for recipients to read Sanders’ coronavirus response plan or have asked for help providing relief to workers impacted by COVID-19 related shutdowns and closures.
Throughout his presidential campaign, the senator pledged to be an"organizer-in-chief," and pursue his ambitious agenda by rallying the public to apply pressure on opposition leadership rather than finding compromise through drawn-out negotiations. Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders leaves after speaking to the press in Burlington, Vt., March 11, 2020.Today, that position appears to be manifesting itself through live-streamed events attracting a viewership in the millions the past few weeks. Though run by his campaign, the senator has entirely avoided mention of presidential politics in favor of pitching relief proposals with help from assorted guests and supporters, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
That criticism, coupled with questions about the impact his continued existence in the primary race may have on Democrats' chances against Trump in November, still hangs over Sanders, even as his campaign is stuck on the backburner. The vast majority of Sanders campaign staff contacted by ABC News agree with the senator that it's important he continue his run.
