Democrats up pressure on Bernie Sanders to exit presidential campaign

Democratic Party leaders are upping the pressure on Bernie Sanders to drop his presidential campaign, alarmed that his continued presence is undermining efforts to beat the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump, and again win the White House.

"I don't think they think of the downside of this," said Senator Dianne Feinstein, a supporter of front-runner Hillary Clinton and broker of the post-primary peace between Mrs Clinton and then-Illinois Senator Barack Obama in 2008.
