Email from Bernie: Two more BIG victories last night!

We just scored two more victories … big ones, this time in Utah and Idaho.

Here’s why this matters: we walked away from the three states that voted yesterday with a majority of the delegates. That's huge. That's how we win the nomination.

We always knew last Tuesday was the high water mark for the Clinton campaign. Now it’s our turn to start winning large majorities in many of the remaining states until we take the pledged delegate lead on June 7.

Now we all need to start thinking about what’s next: the 142 delegates at stake in Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii this Saturday.

Make another contribution to our campaign today and we’re going to cut into Hillary Clinton’s lead even further with a significant number of delegates in Washington this weekend.

Bernie drew a huge crowd in Boise, Idaho on Monday and another 14,000 people to a rally in Salt Lake City, Utah last week. And last night we found out that we are actually leading in a general election poll against Donald Trump in Utah.

It isn’t often that a Democratic candidate for president has a chance to carry Utah, but our political revolution is attracting significant support from Democrats, Independents, and even some Republicans. That’s part of the reason we’re the best chance for Democrats to retain the White House, and to enact transformational change after the election.

Add your contribution here and we'll continue to cut into Hillary Clinton's delegate lead with a big win in Washington on Saturday.

In solidarity,
Jeff Weaver
Campaign Manager
Bernie 2016
