LAS VEGAS — The day after a Democratic presidential debate brought out the candidates’ outrage at Michael Bloomberg, the focus turned back toward Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who leads polls of Nevada, California and the nation.
Bloomberg was in one of those Super Tuesday states, Utah, on Thursday, telling voters in Salt Lake City that Sanders could not appeal to a broad enough array of people to win the White House. Story continuesYet after the event, a reporter asked whether Biden believed that Sanders had changed his views on guns.By Thursday evening, however, he was prepared to hit Sanders’ record more directly.
In a brief exchange aired on CNN from his campaign hotel in Las Vegas, Sanders criticized the wealth of Bloomberg, who is worth more than $60 billion.The Sanders campaign was relieved Thursday that he had emerged from Wednesday’s debate unscathed, a result that it attributed to his resilience and supporters’ loyalty.
“I think Nevada is unfathomable,” said David Axelrod, the architect of Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. “Second place is anybody’s guess. And second place is meaningful by the unwritten measuring sticks that the punditocracy creates. Everybody is going to be watching who finishes second.”
