Bernie Sanders Holds Rally In Wilmington

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Bernie Sanders says a country is judged by how it treats "the weak and most vulnerable among us."

He touted the need for better care for veterans at a rally in Wilmington, Delaware, Saturday, declaring "we are not going to cut social security, in fact, we are going to do exactly the opposite."

He told the crowds of supporters that he would expand social security and benefits for Americans if elected president, saying that he has repeatedly asked his rival Hillary Clinton to join his call for lifting the cap on social security.

"I am still waiting for a clear answer," he said.
