MSNBC’s Welker on Hillary: ‘Bernie Sanders Nipping at Her Heels, that Is for Sure’

‘He is drawing huge crowds … we hear a lot of people talking about feeling the burn’

MITCHELL: “And, Kristen Welker, when we were up there yesterday, people were still undecided. New Hampshire voters take a long time to decide. Generally they are late deciders. What are you seeing in that crowd today? I don't know with the rain whether it is a great chance to talk to people lingering outside.”

WELKER: “Look, a couple hundred people turned out despite the rain, Andrea. It's been raining all morning. By the way, a lot of enthusiasm for Clinton today. But you talk about the Bernie Sanders effect. It can't be ignored. He is drawing huge crowds. Thousands of people. You hear a lot of people talk about feeling the burn. And, of course, the challenge for Clinton is that she does have these issues that continue to linger in her campaign. These questions about her e-mails, about the Clintons Foundation. That's been a real drag on her, particularly if you look at the polls. That's a concern in a state like New Hampshire which is so critical. Again, she has the lead here, Andrea. But Bernie Sanders is nipping at her heels. That is for sure.”
