During an interview on CNN’s Sunday broadcast of “State of the Union,” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders reminded the nation he is very good at arithmetic.
“This is what I believe,” he told host Jake Tapper. “I am good at arithmetic, and I understand that it is a very, very uphill fight to go from 46 percent where we are today to 50 percent in the nine remaining contests.”
“I got that, but we’re going to try,” he added. “California, obviously is the big race that remains. We think we have a chance to do very well in California and in New Jersey.”
Sanders currently trails Hillary Clinton by 760 delegates and needs 850 more to be named the Democratic nominee.
