Sanders Keeps Pressure on Clinton With Oregon Win

The tight race in Kentucky, although not a win for Sanders, shows he is
still gaining momentum.
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has won the Democratic primary in Oregon and
with 99 percent of the vote counted in Kentucky, Clinton is the projected
winner, with 46.7 percent to 46.3 percent for Sanders, according to CNN. The
tight race, although not a win for Sanders, shows he is still gaining
momentum.
Sanders has already been declared the victor in Oregon, winning 53.0 percent
of the vote to 47.0 percent for Clinton, with 60 percent of the ballots
counted. A total of 111 delegates were at stake in both statesTuesday night.
At a rally for Sanders on Tuesday night in California, which holds a primary
on June 7-with 546 delegates up for grabs-actor Danny Glover told cheering
supporters that the Vermont Senator has the "audacity" to challenge the
status quo, "and that audacity didn't begin today." Glove added that Sanders
supporters are "on the compass for justice" and that campaigners work for
him with "love, compassion and commitment."
Sanders said at the rally that he expects to win half of the delegates in
Kentucky, despite a likely narrow loss, but criticized the primary process,
noting that independents cannot vote and that the winner of the popular vote
may not win the Democratic nomination. He also restated that he will
continue his campaign so that Californians will have the right to vote for
the presidential nominee of their choice.
Both Oregon and Kentucky are closed primaries in which only registered
Democrats can vote. In California, people must register to vote by May 23,
and must register as either a Democrat or independent.
As of Monday, Clinton was leading Sanders in the race for the Democratic
nomination, with 1,741 pledged delegates to his 1,458. Clinton also has the
support of 524 superdelegates, party elites who are not bound by the popular
vote, to 40 for Sanders.
