After asking on Wednesday whether Bernie Sanders “knows when the game is over,” on Thursday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer lamented that the Democratic presidential candidate was “digging in his heels despite speculation over whether it is time for him to bow out of the race.”

Correspondent Andrea Mitchell confirmed: “That's what all Democrats are talking about, Matt.” She highlighted DNC fears over the ongoing primary contest: “Hillary Clinton with a prohibitive lead in delegates, but Bernie Sanders showing no sign at all of backing out.
