Well whaddya know who’d of thunk it. NY Daily News:
In two districts once believed to be Hillary Clinton strongholds, the state senators from Harlem and Queens — Bill Perkins and James Sanders Jr. — will endorse Bernie Sanders instead, the Daily News has learned exclusively.
The endorsements of local politicians, who often have the best ground operations and better connections with actual voters, are highly coveted in a race like this.
So Bernie is picking up ground as supporters rag on their state senator reps and superdelegates to feel the bern. In other primary news NY Post reports “NY race may be tighter than expected for Democrats.”
Leading Democrats privately predict that Hillary Clinton will win a closer-than-originally-expected victory over Bernie Sanders in the April 19 primary — but they’re also conceding that “Clinton exhaustion” could produce a surprise upset.
Finally, in the RCP average Sanders kills it over Trump by 17 points, while Hillary is ahead by 11 points. Both comforting, though there is probably no margin that is comforting enough.
