Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she was “not nervous at all” about rival Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) recent climb in the polls.
Polls released earlier this week showed Sanders surpassed Clinton in Iowa by five points and widened his lead over her in New Hampshire by 14 points.
Savannah Guthrie, host of NBC’s “Today,” asked Clinton if she was nervous about the movement in those polls.
“No, I’m not nervous at all,” Clinton responded. “I’m working hard, and I intend to keep working as hard as I can until the last voter or caucusgoer expresses an opinion. I’m excited about where we are.”
Clinton further noted the disagreements between her and Sanders on certain topics, including healthcare and gun safety.
“I think we’re in that stage of a campaign where we’ve each been introducing ourselves, we’ve been talking about our particular views on issues, and now it’s time to draw some contrasts,” she said.
Watch below:
I know this is off topic but did anyone else have trouble with the comments section last night. I couldn’t open any of the stories on the President’s SOU.
Sanders is going to have to do better than “I voted against the Iraq war and she voted for it, oh and BTW, millionaires and billionaires, blah blah blah…”
I did. Not just during the SOTU (I was able to post later though), there was the same trouble early evening as well.
Why are statements like this news? Just like Sanders and his “Hillary is in trouble” crap.
Hillary could be down 30 points in every state - she’s still not going to say “HOLY FUCK! I’M SO SCREWED!” to the press.
“Candidate reinforces self-serving imminent victory narrative”.
Yes, it’s like it was impossible to be the first person to open the comments. Once there were actually comments it was possible to go there.
