PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bernie Sanders is questioning whether Democratic rival Hillary Clinton is "qualified" to be president after she spent much of the day after the Wisconsin primary criticizing his record and his preparedness for the job.
"She has been saying lately that she thinks that I am quote unquote not qualified to be president," Sanders told a crowd of more than 10,000 people at Temple University's Liacouras Center in Philadelphia on Wednesday. "I don't believe that she is qualified if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special-interest funds."
DENVER (AP) — While the focus of the Republican presidential campaign shifts eastward to the New York primary, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is pivoting west, where he is quietly trying to chip away at Donald Trump's lead in the race for convention delegates.
Cruz won six pledged delegates during a pair of obscure, congressional-level Colorado GOP assemblies on Saturday. He is also poised to make gains in several other western Republican contests, including a possible sweep of Colorado's remaining assemblies, due to conclude Saturday. Cruz's success in the complex delegate game is helping him counter Trump's headline-grabbing wins in big states and would give the Texas senator a tactical advantage should the party's presidential nomination come down to a rare contested convention.
