Hi, I'm Ryan Grim and I'm the Washington bureau chief for The Intercept. I've written a lot about this Democratic primary, and in particular how the progressive wing of the party is challenging the establishment — the subject of my recent book, We've Got People — which has done everything it can to thwart the rise of Bernie Sanders.

I'm here to answer your questions about the Sanders campaign, how things look for his viability as a presidential candidate in the wake of this week's results, and what chances the Democrats may have of defeating Trump with Joe Biden as the presumptive nominee.

I've gotta run for now, but thanks for all your questions! Feel free to tweet them at me if I didn't get to them, but I'll try to come back later and answer the rest.
