| Bernie Sanders addresses supporters in live stream – campaign live | |

| Vermont senator Bernie Sanders’ address reiterates numerous points that those who have seen his stump speech will find familiar. | |
| “In an unprecedented way, we showed the world we could run a strong national campaign without being dependent on the big-money interests whose greed has done so much to damage this country,” Sanders says. | |
| “This campaign has never been about any single candidate. It has always been about transforming America. It is about ending a campaign finance system which is corrupt and allows billionaires to buy elections,” Sanders says. “It is about creating an economy that works for all of us, not just the one percent.” | |
| “It is about ending the incredible despair that exists in many parts of this country, where, as a result of unemployment and low wages, suicide, and alcohol, millions of Americans are dying in a historic way - at a younger age than their parents,” Sanders says. “It is about ending the disgrace of having almost the highest level of childhood poverty of almost any major country on earth.” | |
| “It is about ending the disgrace of tens of thousands of Americans dying every year from preventable deaths because... because they cannot afford the prescription drugs they need,” Sanders continues. “It is about ending the pain of a young single mother in Nevada, in t ears, telling me that she doesn’t know how she and her daughter can make it on the $10.75 she makes.” | |

| Bernie Sanders, addressing his campaign supporters, says that the fight for wealth equality continues “every day, every week, and every moth in the fight to create a nation and world of social and economic justice.” | |
| “When tens of millions of people say loudly and clearly, ‘enough is enough,’ and they become engaged in the fight for justice, that’s what the political revolution we helped start is all about.” | |
| “It is mainstream - it is what millions of American believe in and want to see happen,” Sanders says of the “political revolution” his campaign helped ignite. “In virtually every state that we contested, we won the overwhelming majority of the votes of voters 45 years of age or younger - sometimes, I might say, by yuuuge numbers.” | |

| Bernie Sanders addresses supporters in livestream | |
| Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is addressing his campaign’s supporters via a live video stream hosted by his campaign, in which he said on Tuesday he would be discussing “what’s next for our campaign.” | |

| What we’re all waiting for: | |
| While voters will still casting ballots in Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Washington DC, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders announced that he would be holding a live video stream for supporters at 8:30pm EDT tonight in which he said he would be discussing “what’s next for our campaign.” | |
| “For the past 14 months, through the entire primary process, we’ve sent the establishment a message they can’t ignore: we won’t settle for the status quo,” said an emailed invitation. “After today, the voting is done, but our political revolution continues.” | |
| The event was widely expected to mark the formal end of his candidacy for the nomination, but many have seen instead a call to arms among supporters to continue fighting for the policies that have often put him at odds with the party’s senior leadership. | |
