MOSCOW (Sputnik) – US Senator Bernie Sanders said he would not abandon his hopes to secure the Democratic nomination for the US presidential election.
"There are a lot of people out there, many pundits and politicians, they say Bernie Sanders should drop out, the people of California should not have the right to determine who the next president will be. Well, let me be as clear as I can be…. We are in till the last ballot is cast!," Sanders said at a rally in California, as quoted by the Los Angeles Times.
Sanders’ California speech came amid Democratic Party primary elections in the states of Oregon and Kentucky.
The Vermont senator is the projected winner of the Oregon election with 53 percent of the votes, but he lost to former State Secretary Hillary Clinton by less than one percent in Kentucky.
