With three losses on Tuesday night, Bernie Sanders’s chances of winning the Democratic presidential nomination became even slimmer.
And the defeats in Arizona, Florida, and Illinois left even some of the Vermont senator’s top staffers frustrated and questioning whether he should continue his campaign.
Another senior Sanders aide said they were frustrated over a lack of direction from the campaign’s top leadership: campaign manager Faiz Shakir, the senator’s longtime confidante Jeff Weaver, and Sanders himself. However, this year is also far different. Unlike in 2016, Sanders spent time as a frontrunner with a clear path forward while Biden’s campaign was on the ropes. Sanders performed well in the first three states that voted. He won the popular vote in Iowa, got a win in New Hampshire, and scored a large victory in Nevada.
Moments that particularly rankled Sanders and his allies included the delayed the reporting of results in Iowa and high volume media coverage of Biden’s South Carolina win.
