Bernie Sanders makes bold claim: If I win New York, I win the White House

  • 8 years ago
Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders is locked in a close battle with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the parties' Presidential nomination.
Now campaigning in New York, where Clinton once held the title of Senator, Sanders made a swift declaration as the state's primary looms on the horizon.
The current Senator of Vermont told a raucous South Bronx crowd on Thursday that if he receives the nod in "The Big Apple," he will soon occupy a residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Sanders played to many topics on the minds of New Yorkers and celebrities, like Rosario Dawson and Spike Lee, who were in attendance.
The Empire State has 247 delegates up for grabs, which is the second-largest pool in the primary season.
