The Democratic presidential primary isn’t over yet, Bernie Sanders said Monday, urging supporters not to let anyone tell them otherwise.

Speaking in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on the eve of the Democratic primary in West Virginia, Sanders pushed back against the narrative that the primary against Hillary Clinton is all but over.

“We have now won over 45 percent of the pledged delegates,” Sanders said. “There are nine more primaries and caucuses remaining. Tomorrow [there’s] one in West Virginia — we hope to win there.”

Recent polling in West Virginia shows Sanders leading Clinton by 6 percentage points. But June 7 will also be a big day, Sanders said, referring to the largest primary day remaining. California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota will all participate on June 7, the penultimate voting day in the Democratic primary before Washington, D.C., on June 14.

“If we can win here in New Jersey and win in California and win in some of the other states, and if we can win a majority of the pledged delegates, we’re gonna go into Philadelphia and the Democratic convention and expect to come out with the Democratic nomination. So don’t let — don’t let anybody tell you this campaign is over. We’re gonna fight for the last vote we can find in New Jersey and California,” Sanders said, as the crowd began chanting “Bernie!”

While presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is pivoting toward Clinton and the general election, Sanders has maintained that he will fight on to the convention. His campaign has also been talking to superdelegates.

Clinton holds a lead of nearly 300 pledged delegates over Sanders. But when factoring in superdelegates, her advantage balloons to almost 800 delegates.

Sanders stressed that this country doesn’t need a president who’s supported “disastrous” trade deals, received millions in campaign contributions from Wall Street, voted for the Iraq War and won’t end fracking — all attacks directed at Clinton.

But he also insisted that the America people wouldn’t elect Trump — the crowd booed at the mention of the real estate mogul’s name — a man who has launched insults at Muslims, women and veterans, to name a few.

“Now I don’t have to tell you too much about Donald Trump because you know — you know more about him than most Americans, OK,” Sanders said. “But in addition to all that he has done for the workers here in Atlantic City, he is not going to be elected president of the United States. And he’s not gonna be elected president because in every national poll that I have seen and in virtually every state poll that I have seen, Bernie Sanders beats him by double-digit numbers.”

Clinton needs just 155 delegates to clinch a majority, though superdelegates — Clinton has 523 to Sanders’ 39 — in theory could switch their allegiance at the convention.

“It is an uphill fight,” Sanders acknowledged. “But I have been used to uphill fights my entire life. And I want you all to know that this campaign will fight for every remaining vote in every remaining state.”
