OlderCelebs React to Bernie Sanders' Surprise Win in Michigan
Bernie Sanders pulled off a major upset in the Michigan primaries on Tuesday (March 8) and lots of celebs are reacting to the win.
The Democratic presidential hopeful won the primary by a 50-48 margin after Hillary Clinton was expected to win the state. She was leading by a wide margin in the days leading up to today’s vote.
“I just want to thank the people of Michigan who repudiated the polls, who repudiated the pundits,” Sanders said in a news conference. “The people’s revolution, the political revolution we’re talking about is strong in every part of the country.”
Documentary director Michael Moore, who is a Michigan native, was very excited about the win and Oscar-nominated actor Mark Ruffalo also tweeted his praise for Bernie.

Michigan just called for Bernie – as I've said, he's putting his "New Deal" on the table. Until its outright rejected, he's still in it!

The Clinton campaign planned on saying this race was over if @BernieSanders lost Michigan.
Well, that didn't happen.
A huge victory.
