Michigan residents who support Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign are disappointed by the election results. But many say they remain optimistic.
Former Vice President Joe Biden was projected to win Michigan's primary shortly after the polls closed last night.
Michael Fasullo is the Michigan coordinator for the Sanders campaign.
He says he’s remaining optimistic that people will keep fighting for what Sanders’ campaign stands for.
"Look, people like Bernie Sanders, they like these issues. It’s about showing we can defeat Donald Trump, and we’re going to continue to show that throughout this race," Fasullo said.
Fasullo says he hopes that young first-time voters aren’t discouraged by the outcome.
Justin Onwenu is a Sanders campaign volunteer.
He says he was attracted to Sanders’ stances on cleaning up the environment and improving education.
"Those are values that I think the state of Michigan can carry even beyond the Sanders campaign," Onwenu said.
Last week, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer endorsed Joe Biden.
Onwenu says despite last night’s outcome, he thinks Sanders can still win the nomination.
