The comments by Jane Sanders came after news broke that the Sanders campaign was laying off hundreds of campaign workers across the country.
Clinton moved closer to clinching the Democratic nomination by winning four of five Atlantic Coast primaries on Tuesday. Bernie Sanders has focused on Rhode Island, his single win, where independents voted in the open primary.
“We’re feeling good. Most of the primaries going forward are open, which I think is much more democratic,” Jane Sanders said Thursday.
