Sanders still sees 'path toward victory' against Clinton
US Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders says he still maintains a "path toward victory" against frontrunner Hillary Clinton, rejecting suggestions that her lead is “insurmountable.”
“I don’t believe they have an insurmountable lead,” Sanders told The Associated Press in an interview published on Friday.
“Secretary Clinton has done phenomenally well in the Deep South and in Florida. That’s where she has gotten the lion’s share of votes. And I congratulate her for that. But we’re out of the Deep South now,” he stated.
The Clinton campaign has called on Sanders to drop out, suggesting she has an "almost insurmountable" in the delegate count.
The former secretary of state currently leads the Vermont senator in total delegates, 1,614 to 856. The delegates also include unpledged supredelegates.
Clinton scored decisive victories in Florida, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina on Tuesday, but the result from the Missouri primary had been too close to project.
The race was called on Thursday and Clinton won Missouri. Clinton's victory in Missouri gives her a significant boost as she is inching towards winning the Democratic nomination.
According to a New York Times report, US President Barack Obama even called on donors to rally behind Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
But Sanders still insists he sees a way to win the nomination. "We think from now on out, we are having states that, everything being equal, we stand a chance to do well in. We think we have a path toward victory.”
“We’ve got some big states coming up and we think if we can do well, if we go into the convention with delegates, we’ve got a shot at taking the nomination,” he added.
Sanders vowed that voting in Arizona, Washington, Wisconsin, New York and Pennsylvania will help him catch up with Clinton.
