His Democratic competition, Hillary Clinton, is campaigning across the state ahead of the June 7 California primary elections. She was scheduled to speak in San Bernardino, Woodland Hills and Santa Monica on Friday. Sanders trails Clinton by more than 250 pledged delegates and nearly 500 superdelegates, unelected delegates free to support any candidate they choose for the Democratic Party nomination.
Sanders declined to comment on the Democratic National Convention, where the party's candidate could be selected if the candidates do not secure enough delegates, insisting that he wanted to stick to economic issues and avoid discussing party politics.
However, he repeated his conviction that there is a path forward to make a university education more affordable.
"We are the richest country in the history of the world," Sanders said. "We will not succeed unless we have the best-educated workforce in the world."
