It's too early to call the Indiana Democratic primary, but Bernie Sanders told an audience in Louisville, Kentucky, he is proud of his showing in the race so far.

"As of today we have now won 17 primaries and caucuses," he said. "The ideas we are fighting for are the ideas of the future of America, and the future of the Democratic Party." Sanders reminded the crowd he is running for president because they live in "the wealthiest country in the history of the world, but most Americans don't know that because the economy is rigged and almost all new income and wealth goes to the top one percent."
