What to Expect From Bernie Sanders’ Livestream Tonight
While the senator is not expected to formally bow out of the race or endorse his primary rival Hilary Clinton just yet, he will likely acknowledge, perhaps just subtly, that his campaign is no longer focused on securing the Democratic nomination. Instead, Sanders hopes to keep his fans engaged beyond this election –- exactly how, or engaged in what, remain the million dollar questions.
In the last week since the California primary, Sanders has dramatically shifted his tone. He is no longer talking about flipping party superdelegates or performing ahead of Clinton in general election polling. Instead, he has maintained he will stay in the race until the party convention in July in order to push his progressive platform and advocate for procedural changes within Democratic Party, including banning superdelegates and instating same-day voter registration during primaries.
Sure, the party could end the use of Superdelegates, but "instating same-day voter registration during primaries" requires a change in state law. Good luck with that.
