INBOX: @BernIeSanders will deliver a “campaign update” at 2pm.

Not sure if this means much, but a number of my Bernieworld sources have their phones turned off at the moment.

CONTEXT: @BernieSanders campaign announced two Michigan GOTV rallies this morning.

If he is pulling a "Klobuttigieg" type move, it doesn't mean he has to cancel the rallies. Having said that, I'm just rampantly speculating because I can't reach anyone in Bernieworld right now.

UPDATE:

FURTHER UPDATE: As @BernieSanders prepares to appear for a "campaign update," @politico has called Maine for @JoeBiden.

Sanders opens by thanking supporters.

"My guess is that it's going to be pretty close" after California, he says. "I very much look forward to being on a plane tomorrow...campaigning to everything we can to win in Washington, in Michigan," etc.

"Our campaign is unprecedented because there has never been a campaign in recent history that has taken on the entire corporate establishment," he says, listing insurance companies, drug companies, fossil fuel...

"There has never been a campaign that has taken on the entire political establishment," @BernieSanders says, now railing against "the corporate media." He's going full Trump.

"What I hope we can focus on...is an issue-oriented campaign," he says, now attacking @CBS debate as "insulting to the American people."

"Joe is running a campaign that is obviously heavily supported by the corporate establishment," @BernieSanders says, adding that 60 billionaires have donated to Biden's campaign.

He neglects to note that those 60 billionaires have to abide by the same contribution limits as everyone else.

Sanders is going totally scorched earth, attacking @JoeBiden as being "backed by the wealthy and the powerful."

"Joe essentially wants to maintain what I consider to be a dysfunctional and cruel health care system," he says.

"The American people have got to understand that this is a conflict about ideas...about a vision for how we go forward," he says, adding that he "doesn't want this campaign" to degenerate "into a Trump-type effort of personal attacks" after he just repeatedly attacked @JoeBiden.

Now @BernieSanders is demanding a single-issue health care debate, as if health care hasn't dominated all of the debates so far.

Asked whether he has to win Michigan, Sanders is dismissive. "Michigan is obviously a very important state...that I feel very comfortable in."

Says Michiganders have been "devastated" by trade agreements Biden supported.

Full Trump.

"What we are trying to do is unprecedented"...his campaign wants to bring in "millions and millions of people" for "a political revolution."

Says all campaigns before him have been solely by people who went to rich people's houses, as if @BarackObama never existed.

Asked about black voters, Sanders says he doesn't have a problem because he won California.

Sanders says he's spoken to @EWarren, who has not made any decisions at this point about her campaign.

Reporter (I think @hunterw) asks if he still believes the candidate with a plurality of delegates should get the nominee.

He says "the rules of the Democratic convention are different today," and he believes "the American people" should determine who the nominee is.

Sanders refusing to say that a second vote with superdelegates that doesn't award him the nomination is legitimate if he has a plurality. "I think that would cause massive dismay within the American people."

Sanders now complaining because candidates got out of the race and endorsed @JoeBiden.

Sanders concludes by thanking his volunteers "who are standing up for justice in this unprecedented campaign," says he has "every reason to believe we are going to win this thing."
