Sanders trails Hillary Clinton by nearly 300 delegates won in primaries and caucuses, but vows to press on into the Democratic convention.
He told an Atlantic City rally he hopes for wins in New Jersey, California and other states on June 7 to narrow the gap against Clinton.
WATCH: Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said Monday during a rally in Atlantic City that he will continue his campaign despite long odds to catch competitor Hillary Clinton.
If he can win a majority of the delegates from the primary season, he says, he can come out of the convention with the nomination.
But Sanders would have to win 66 per cent of the remaining pledged delegates. So far, he is winning just 45 per cent. And he trails even more when the party insiders known as superdelegates are included.
