“I think he should not give up, even if it looks like he’s not going to be the nominee. He needs to continue to advocate for what we believe in.” Bernie Sanders’s supporters want him to stay in the presidential contest.
By Eliza Collins Updated March 27, 2020 8:31 am ET Bernie Sanders’s supporters want him to stay in the presidential contest, despite an unlikely path to the Democratic nomination after a string of primary losses in March.
“I think he should not give up, even if it looks like he’s not going to be the nominee. He needs to continue to advocate for what we believe in,” said Luis Yofe, 67, who works in the travel industry and lives in Dallas. “For us to be enthusiastic, Biden and the party will have to adopt, in the platform for the general election, some of the key principles that Bernie is advocating.”
But since the coronavirus crisis prompted some states to delay their contests, Mr. Biden is unlikely to sew up the nomination quickly if Mr. Sanders remains in the race. Ms. Southwell and others are hoping that voters will see Mr. Sanders’s reaction to the crisis and go for him in droves, giving him the significant margins he would need in every state going forward.
Mr. Sanders hasn’t indicated any intention to quit the race. His spokesman said recently that he would participate in a presidential debate in April if the Democratic National Committee held one.
