Excerpts from article:
..."The simple truth is that Mayor Bloomberg, with all his money, will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need to have the voter turnout we must have to defeat Donald Trump," Sanders said on Saturday at a Democratic Party gala in Las Vegas, Reuters reported.
..."We will not create the energy and excitement we need to defeat Trump if that candidate pursued, advocated for, and enacted, racist policies like stop-and-frisk, which caused communities of color in his city to live in fear," Sanders said Saturday, according to Reuters.
...Bloomberg, who has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into his own campaign, is not competing in Nevada, instead focusing on the Super Tuesday states where voters will cast ballots on March 3.Despite Bloomberg's unconventional campaign, the former mayor has continually gained strength in support over the past couple of months.
...Asked for comment on Sanders's recent remarks, a Bloomberg campaign spokesperson told The Hill that "As mayor, Mike raised taxes on the wealthy and supported an increase in the minimum wage and the Earned Income Tax Credit."
