Bernie Sanders vows to stay in the race until June

Despite Hillary Clinton's dominance in the Democratic race on Super Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says he's not going anywhere — at least until June. Top advisers for Sanders' presidential campaign detailed Wednesday morning how they think Sanders still has a good shot at the nomination, Newsweek reports. "She has a substantial advantage," Sanders campaign adviser Jeff Weaver said of Clinton. "We believe we can make that up between now and June."
Weaver and Sanders' senior adviser Tad Devine say the campaign plans to continue to "selectively target" states that are similar in demographics to ones Sanders has already won (Colorado, Vermont, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and New Hampshire). "We targeted five states, we won 4.9," Devine said of Super Tuesday, adding that the campaign won in states "that were very, very different, but states that look very much like the states around them that have not yet voted."
The campaign is particularly eyeing Kansas and Nebraska, which vote Saturday, as well as Michigan, Ohio, New York, and even California, which doesn't vote until June. Devine also expressed optimism for Sanders doing "a lot better" with African-American voters in upcoming races. "Super Tuesday, in my view, was perhaps the single best day on the calendar for Hillary Clinton," Devine said. "We do not think the calendar ahead looks nearly as good [for Clinton] as yesterday."
