As Momentum Builds, Sanders Campaign Looks Ahead To March's 'Super Tuesday'

Vermont Public Radio: As Momentum Builds, Sanders Campaign Looks Ahead To March's 'Super Tuesday'

The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is implementing a long-range strategy designed to win the Democratic nomination, focusing on primaries scheduled for next March.

Weaver says Sanders' strong support in the early-primary states makes it possible for the campaign to look ahead to Super Tuesday on March 1 of next year. That's a day when a dozen states will hold primaries.

"We are in this for the long haul. This is really a race about delegates about accumulating delegates and we have a path to win it's not an easy path but we have a path to win to accumulate the delegates necessary to win the Democratic nomination and we're going to implement that program aggressively," he says.

Weaver says the campaign is ramping up its operations in South Carolina and Nevada — the two states that hold primaries after New Hampshire. He expects to have field offices open in both states within the next week.

I'll be supporting the campaign as I can from the left coast, because I want Sanders on my ballot when my primary finally rolls around in May.
