Bernie Sanders gets testy when asked about exiting primary: 'I intend to be the Democratic nominee'
Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday did not commit to conceding the primary even if it became clear he would not be the nominee, a move that traces back to 2016 when the senator was facing down then-Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
After a back-and-forth —"Are you asking that of every candidate?" — and further pressing, Sanders said he was proud of his grassroots campaigns, particularly in the key states of New Hampshire and Iowa, and his million volunteers. The Vermont senatoris polling just behind front-runner and former Vice President Joe Biden, with 19 percent of the expected vote as of June 23.
