Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is acknowledging clinching the Democratic nomination is going to be an uphill battle.
When asked by comedian Seth Meyers if he sees a road to the nomination, and if not why he is still in the race, Sanders responded with some hope.
“There is a path, it is admittedly a narrow path,” Sanders said, adding, “There are a lot of people who are supporting me, we have a strong grassroots movement who believe that we have got to stay in in order to continue the fight.”
Watch Sanders’ comments below:
His comments come shortly after his interview on NPR’s “Morning Edition” where he was asked if he was continuing his campaign, as IJR previously reported.
“We are assessing the situation we’re in,” Sanders said at the time.
Sanders attributed his perseverance with his campaign to his beliefs in Medicare for All, raising the minimum wage, paid family and medical leave, addressing climate change, and education.
“Campaigns are an important way to maintain that fight and raise public consciousness on those issues,” Sanders said, continuing, “So that’s, I think, one of the arguments we’re going forward.”
