Whoopi Goldberg presses Sanders: 'Why are you still in the race?' [View all]

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg on Wednesday questioned Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) over his decision to continue campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Goldberg pressed Sanders over his remarks this week that he sees a "narrow path" to the nomination, with the host saying the senator's decision reminded her of the 2016 primary.

Sanders continued to campaign in 2016 after Hillary Clinton secured enough delegates to clinch the nomination. The senator eventually backed her White House bid and campaigned for her.

“I’m told you intend to stay in this race for president because you believe there is a path to victory," Goldberg told Sanders on Wednesday.

"I want to know what that path is because this feels a little bit like it did when you didn’t come out when Hillary Clinton was clearly the person folks were going for,” she added.

Sanders maintained “that’s not quite accurate,” adding he "worked as hard as I could for Hillary Clinton."

But Goldberg pushed back, saying while he did eventually support Clinton it took him “a very, very long time to hop in, and your people also took a very long time for them to hop in.”

"Why are you still in the race?" she pressed.
