"We're going to stand up to Wall Street," Sanders said.

"We're going to stand up to the corruption of the drug companies. We're going to stand up to the insurance companies."

Sanders slammed President Donald Trump, saying "Trump is trying to divide our people up based on the color of their skin, or their religion, or when they were born, or their sexual orientation."

Sanders remains the undisputed front-runner. But the rest of the field is decidedly unsettled, even after former Vice President Joe Biden's South Carolina blowout and the departures of Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg and billionaire activist Tom Steyer.

Sanders is focused on California, the crown jewel of Super Tuesday. He has predicted victory there as he rallies thousands of supporters in multiple stops and attacks Biden's record on foreign policy, trade and Social Security, among other issues.
