Although Clinton is leading Sanders in votes and pledged delegates, polls show Sanders performing better than Clinton against Trump. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declined to take the bait when asked if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is helping presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump by continuing his campaign. Sanders has long accused the DNC of favoring Clinton in the presidential race and said that he would remove Wasserman Schultz if he were to become president. “Senator Sanders has every right to finish off his campaign however he chooses,” Clinton told Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press" Sunday. In a defiant move against the party establishment, Sanders on Saturday endorsed the primary challenger of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who heads the Democratic National Committee.
