We have all heard of a certain billionaire from New York running for president. We have all heard his somewhat controversial statements. But beside Mr. Trump, we have a large story unraveling in the background happening just this last month in the primaries.

Hillary is being fired on from both sides in the primaries. Last month was a big win for Senator Bernie Sanders as he made his climb in the primary race, becoming more and more of a threat to Hillary’s campaign with his rising popularity. Gaining support from the large majority of Hawaii, Alaska, and Washington caucuses, Sanders is sure that he might have cleared a path to victory over Hillary in becoming the Democratic frontrunner.

Hillary has much to worry about. Until recently she has been focusing her efforts on the Republican Party, specifically Donald Trump, and has been for the most part ignoring Bernie’s climb to the top.

In southern states, Hillary built her huge delegate lead over Bernie with her support from a variety of ethnicities. Known for her ideas on foreign policy and fight for the middle class, Hillary gathered many of her delegates there. Bernie said he realized that the southern states were going to be hard to win. “We knew from day one that politically we were going to have a hard time in the Deep South,” Bernie said. “But we knew things were going to improve when we headed west.”

And that is what he did. As Bernie moved his campaign to the west coast, he beat Hillary consecutively with 81 percent of the delegates in Alaska, 70 percent in Hawaii, and 72 percent in Washington, while rounding off Idaho with 78 percent of the delegates. Washington was vital for Bernie’s campaign, with 101 delegates for takes, adding to his overall amount of delegates he gained.

With the upcoming rallies in both Wisconsin and New York, Bernie is still enthusiastic about his campaign. He said in a rally in Madison, “With your help we’re going to win right here in Wisconsin, so don’t let anyone tell you we can’t win the nomination, or win the general election. We’re going to do both of those things.”

Even with his confidence in his campaign, Hillary still has the numbers to win. With a large delegate lead over Bernie’s of around 400 superdelegates, elected officials and party leaders, and 300 delegates, groups who vote, she is going to be really difficult for Sanders to catch up to in time. Currently Hillary holds victory over 18 states, and Bernie only has 14.

Bernie has been very popular with young liberal voters during his western campaign. This is what gave Bernie his delegate lead over Hillary while traveling through the West. Even so, his popularity with these voters only narrowed the gap slightly between him and victory over Hillary. However, both candidates still have a long way to go to hit the 2,832 delegate count for a guarantee victory.

Bernie’s liberal ideas and promises to raise the minimum wage, along with his conviction of Wall Street’s evil and the push to make college free, is the reason for his popularity among young Democrats. He says that Wall Street is cheating on taxes and is being no help to the country, and that America wants Wall Street to give back to the people who bailed them out of a depression a few years ago. Especially with Hillary’s questionable means of fundraising, Bernie seems to be acquiring all the votes on the West coast.

When a Greenpeace activist asked Hillary whether or not she would start rejecting fossil fuel money in her campaign Hillary answered angrily, “I have money from people who work for fossil fuel companies.” In this quote, Hillary implies that a fraction of her campaign money is funded by fossil fuel companies who favor her. This is very confusing, because Hillary also claims that she is against fossil fuels, and wants America to be the number one user of green energy. If Hillary is trying to destroy fossil companies, then why are they funding her campaign? This is one of the many contradictions that riddle Hillary’s campaign funds.

Another inconsistency in Hillary’s funding is that she is accepting money from Wall Street. Despite this fact, Hillary claims she is fighting for the working class.

Even with Hillary’s weaknesses and Bernie’s surprising strength, it is going to take a miracle for Bernie to beat Hillary. He will need to win 75 percent of the remaining delegates and superdelegates, taking Wisconsin, the Northeast, and California; even if he does this, he will only beat her narrowly. Most are expecting the elections to be Hillary facing Trump in November.
