Early Wednesday morning, the day after the New Hampshire primary that saw Bernie Sanders take the lead, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro took to Twitter to predict that the Vermont Senator will secure the Democratic presidential nomination.
“Sanders is clearly the frontrunner at this point,” he tweeted. “The moderate lane is fractured. If Democrats wish to challenge Sanders internally, Biden and Warren both need to step out now, and Buttigieg and Klobuchar are going to have to determine before Super Tuesday which one is viable.”
According to Shapiro, “none of that is going to happen,” and he believes Sanders will become the nominee.
Although many Republicans claim that Sanders’ socialism will be an easy opponent for Donald Trump, Shapiro previously said he believes the GOP is underestimating the appeal of Sanders. As Fox News reported, Shapiro made the comment on an episode of The Ben Shapiro Show last week.
“The appeal of Bernie Sanders…I think Republicans are underestimating,” he said.
