The Bernie Sanders’ San Francisco Office started to become more upbeat once the polls closed in California.
At around 7:40pm, the office was busy with phone calls as the final voters were headed to the polls. The main focus was to get as many supporters as possible, because everyone was worried about the close race between Joe Biden and Sanders.
However, Sanders’ supporters were still hopeful for a good outcome.
Matt Mcguire, a volunteer for the Sanders’ campaign, said he had high hopes for the outcome. “We are gonna go in strong–it’s gonna be a fight. It’s a two-person race now,” said Mcguire. “The bad news is that it’s a fight, but the good news is we have a lot of fighters in the Bernie Sanders’ campaign.”
Once the polls closed, more supporters started to show up.
“Bernie is the only person that stands for everyone,” said Mcguire. He said that all walks of life love Bernie Sanders because he fights for them.
