WASHINGTON _ Bernie Sanders' California delegates to the Democratic National Convention say they're disappointed he won't be the candidate accepting the party's presidential nomination this week, but they're mostly ready to back Joe Biden this fall.
Several Sanders' California delegates said there's too much at stake for them to sit out the November election after Sanders' loss.
"Is it just about getting (President Donald) Trump out of office? Yes, it kind of is," said Jewel Hurtado, a Sanders delegate who is a 21-year-old City Council member in Kingsburg. "It's been a hard time over the past four years. Especially as a person of color, a member of the LGBTQ community and a woman."
