Former West Virginia Democratic Party Chairman Nick Casey said he has not seen the current level of enthusiasm among young people in decades. Like Sanders, Trump has touted a populist message, denouncing outside money in politics and promising to fight for the disenfranchised. Trailing Clinton by some 300 pledged delegates, Sanders has brought his rallying cry to West Virginia, which holds its Democratic primary Tuesday.

Ed Rendell, who endorsed Clinton but has also publicly praised Sanders' role in the Democratic primary, said the senator's campaign has pulled both the party and Clinton in a more liberal direction.
