Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told the Daily Beast Thursday that he believes racism forced white voters to forgo ballots for Democrats Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Andrew Gillum in Florida.
Both Abrams and Gillum are now locked in tight races, and neither has conceded (though Andrew Gillum briefly threw in the towel Tuesday night, only to withdraw his concession when his loss percentage suddenly decreased to less than .5%, triggering a machine recount). But Bernie Sanders says that white voters could have put both of them over the edge had they been more “comfortable” selecting a candidate of color.
