A spokeswoman for the Bernie Sanders campaign says the Democratic presidential fight will go up to the convention.

“We believe … we’re in this for the long haul,” spokeswoman Symone Sanders said on CNN on Wednesday. “This is a fight that’s going to go all the way through to the convention.”

Symone Sanders, who is of no relation to the Vermont senator, also defended the senator’s ground game in South Carolina after criticism from some that he was writing off the state.
