The New York Times is reporting that Sen. Bernie Sanders will be laying off “hundreds” of his campaign staff and be focusing his efforts on winning as many delegates in California as he can.
“We want to win as many delegates as we can, so we do not need workers now in states around country,” Mr. Sanders said in the interview. “We don’t need people right now in Connecticut. That election is over. We don’t need them in Maryland. So what we are going to do is allocate our resources to the 14 contests that remain, and that means that we are going to be cutting back on staff.”
Sen. Sanders is acknowledging he will not be running in a national campaign this fall.
