Sanders camp blasts media for 'suppressing voter turnout

By Nick Gass

Bernie Sanders' campaign manager laid into the media on Tuesday for allegedly suppressing voter turnout, ripping into news outlets' calls projecting Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee while reiterating that his candidate would pursue the nomination all the way until next month's convention.

"Let those people vote and decide before the media tells them that the race is over," Jeff Weaver told CNN. "What's the point of suppressing voter turnout in six states across the country to have a quick news hit that could easily have been done tonight?"

Sanders has said that he would do well in California and five other states voting Tuesday if there is a large turnout. Discussing Sanders' next moves, Weaver noted that the District of Columbia still has its primary next Tuesday.

"Bernie Sanders said he's going to be in this until all the voting is done. We already have a rally tentatively scheduled for Sunday in Washington, D.C., so the senator will be going and campaigning down in the District of Columbia. Why should the people of the District of Columbia be deprived of voting?" Weaver continued. "It's a little ironic given they've been deprived of voting for a member of Congress. So he intends to campaign in the District of Columbia and obviously, you know, we are always assessing the campaign and what's the best way to advance the campaign and secure the nomination. So that will be a continuing conversation among the senator and his senior staff as we go forward this week and next week."

Asked if there was any chance the campaign would not continue on Wednesday, Weaver replied, "I think there's zero chance of that."
