Sanders pressured to quit White House race as Clinton weighs VP picks

– ‘Real shot to win’ –

But Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, insisted Sunday he still has a chance to win the nomination.

“I’m not going to tell you that it’s easy, but I think we do. What polls seem to be showing is that in many of the states yet to come, including California, our largest state, we have a real shot to win,” he said on CNN’s State of the Union.

The Vermont senator has a hugely successful fundraising operation based on small donors and an enthusiastic following among young voters and white working class Americans galvanized by his attacks on income inequality, Wall Street, and a political system he believes has been corrupted by big money.

He has drawn blood by attacking Clinton’s ties to Wall Street and huge speaking fees she received from big banks.

Sanders noted national polls show he would do better than Clinton against any of the possible Republican nominees.

But if he loses on Tuesday, the pressure on him is bound to grow.

“If we think we’ve made enough progress, then we’ll keep on the path that we’re on,” Sanders adviser Tad Devine told NPR in an interview published Saturday.

“If we think we have to, you know, take a different way or re-evaluate, you know, we’ll do it then.”
