He may be beginning to erode Clinton’s support among urban black workers, but he’s got lots and lots of ground to make up among blacks and hispanics outside the big cities.

This jumped out at me. It shows that Sanders, like Corbyn, has drawn support from many non-party people, most likely younger voters, for his campaign.

It’s unclear from the video, though if it were a mostly black crowd, you would expect Sanders to have gone out of his way to chat with them before entering the restaurant with Sharpton.
