Following what looked like
landslide victory
for Hillary Clinton in the South Carolina Democratic primary, Sanders
congratulated the secretary of state. But he made clear that the
campaign was still in its infancy.
"Let me be clear on one thing tonight. This campaign is just
beginning," Sanders said in a statement distributed by his campaign.
Sanders attempted to cast the race as even, e
mphasizing his
massive victory in the New Hampshire primary earlier this month. The
senator also pointed to "Super Tuesday" primaries and caucuses next week
that award a solid chunk of the delegates needed to clinch the
nomination.
"We won a decisive victory in New Hampshire. She won a decisive
victory in South Carolina," Sanders said. "Now it’s on to Super Tuesday.
In just three days, Democrats in 11 states will pick 10 times more
pledged delegates on one day than were selected in the four early states
so far in this campaign."
"Our grassroots political revolution is growing state by state, and we won't stop now," he added.
Sanders did not stay in South Carolina on Saturday night. He was set
to hold a rally in Minnesota, one of the states that caucuses next
Tuesday.
