The Sanders campaign is sticking to their strategy of moving forward to their next targeted state on primary election day. Sanders may be looking for a bounce back boost depending on how the voting goes for him in the campaign, but one thing is certain young voters across the country remain motivated and fired up to support Sen. Sanders.
Sanders will need a big student turnout across the state of Pennsylvania, and his first step in a week long get out the vote sprint begins at Penn State tonight.
