The Sanders campaign and the Nevada Democratic Party continued to tussle after a chaotic delegate-selection convention in the state last weekend.
Sanders – who said he condemns violence and personal harassment of individuals – leveled some of the same complaints his supporters did, arguing that state party Chairwoman Roberta Lange did not allow a headcount on a disputed rules change.
“Well, he certainly has said that he will do everything – he will work seven days a week, night and day, to make sure Donald Trump is not president, and I’m confident that he will do that”, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told CNN.
The results show 46.76% for Clinton and 46.33% for Bernie Sanders.
There is no excuse for threatening behavior by Sanders supporters, just as there is no excuse for the same from Trump supporters.
Even after winning Oregon, Sanders now trails Clinton by 279 pledged delegates. Sanders bested her in OR, a state that played to his strengths. Clinton has been more workmanlike in piling up delegates, even if her supporters note that she generated enough energy to swamp Sanders in major states like NY.
The Sanders campaign says that in Nevada on Saturday, “the Democratic leadership used its power to prevent a fair and transparent process from taking place”. It’s what I’ve said all along.
Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Kentucky Secretary of State, said, with 99pc of the votes counted, Mrs Clinton was 1,800 votes ahead and only around 700 votes remained to be counted.
The answer to that question rests with Bernie Sanders, but mathematically, Hillary Clinton is going to clinch the Democratic nomination.
In Kentucky on Tuesday, Sanders appeared to have lost a neck-and-neck state primary battle to Clinton, bringing the former secretary of state closer to the party nomination – and shortening the clock on the Vermont senator’s chances.
The party’s headquarters later were vandalized with pro-Sanders graffiti. Trump said in a tweet soon after being declared the victor of the OR primary.
“I just told him, ‘Bernie, you need to take control of this, ‘” Boxer said. And after Democratic officials including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada pressed Sanders to denounce the events, Sanders defiantly asserted that his supporters were treated unfairly. Sanders pulled out a comfortable single-digit win in OR, where he is likely to walk away with a solid block of delegates.
The Kentucky and OR primaries came the same day as tempers flared in the Democratic party, with a rift forming between runner-up candidate Bernie Sanders and the rest of the party over the handling of the Nevada state convention on May 14. In speech Tuesday she said more police officers are on the way to north Minneapolis while acknowledging that many people don’t trust the police. Sanders released a statement yesterday that attacked the Nevada Democractic Party and alleged that one of his campaign headquarters had had shots fired at it a few weeks ago.

Leading Democrats still stopped short of calling on Sanders to abandon his campaign, at least in public, training their concerns on the violence at the Nevada convention. Bernie Sanders will have the support to sustain his campaign though California, whether the Clinton campaign likes it or not.
