Sanders Statement on Indiana
Primary Win
NEW ALBANY, Ind. – U.S.
Sen. Bernie Sanders issued the following
statement on Tuesday after The Associated Press projected that he won
the Indiana primary:
“I want to thank the
people of Indiana for the great upset victory that
they gave us tonight. This is the 18th state that we have won, and
we
expect more victories in the weeks to come.
"The Clinton campaign
thinks this campaign is over. They’re wrong.
Maybe it’s over for the insiders and the party establishment, but the
voters in Indiana had a different idea. The campaign wasn’t over for
them. It isn’t over for the voters in West Virginia. It isn’t over for
Democrats in Oregon, New Jersey and Kentucky. It isn’t over for voters
in California and all the other states with contests still to come.
“We understand that we
have an uphill climb to victory but we have been
fighting uphill from the first day of this campaign. We are in this
campaign to win and we’re going to fight until the last vote is cast.
There is nothing I would like more than to take on and defeat Donald
Trump, someone who must never become president of this country.
“The voters in the
remaining contests deserve a chance to compare my
record and Hillary Clinton’s record on creating jobs, raising the
minimum wage, war and peace, the need for health care for all, breaking
up big banks, combating climate change and other critical issues. To
help voters make the best-informed choice possible, I hope that
Secretary Clinton will agree to a date and place for a debate in
California.”

(pro-Sanders)
After IN win, DFA says Bernie's
movement is "far from over"
Democracy for America's
response to
Bernie Sanders's big win in Indiana tonight:
"Bernie's
victory
in Indiana is a clear indication that, despite the media and
the Democratic establishment's reports to the contrary, the Political
Revolution that has powered Bernie Sander's improbable rise is far from
over.
"Time and time again, the
populist
progressive movement behind Bernie Sanders has been knocked down
and
counted out and, once again, we've shown that our fight to tackle
income inequality, stamp out structural racism, and end money's
outsized role in our politics isn't going anywhere.
"In the days and weeks
ahead, the Political Revolution is
going to continue winning states, winning delegates,
surprising sceptics, and ensuring that our
call for populist progressive change is heard loud and clear in
Philadelphia." -- Charles Chamberlain, Executive
Director, Democracy for America

DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARY
RESULTS
Washington,
D.C. – Correct The Record President Brad Woodhouse released the
following statement in response to tonight’s Indiana Democratic primary
results.
“While
Indiana’s Democratic primary electorate was tailor made for Bernie
Sanders, tonight’s results do not change the overall delegate math,”
said Brad Woodhouse, President of Correct The Record. “Bernie Sanders
invested heavily in Indiana to try to put a dent in Hillary Clinton's
big lead, but the math remains the same: Secretary Clinton maintains
nearly insurmountable leads in both delegates and votes cast. Voters
have demonstrated time and time again that they believe in Secretary
Clinton’s message of breaking down barriers and creating opportunity
for all Americans. It is time for Democrats to join together to keep
Donald Trump and his hateful rhetoric and extreme positions from
entering the White House.”
Correct The Record is a strategic research and rapid response team designed to defend Hillary Clinton from baseless attacks.
