WELLESLEY, Mass. — Here among the historic brick towers and wooded hills of Hillary Clinton’s alma mater, Wellesley Students for Hillary has a robust campus organization. But so has Wellesley Students for Bernie.
On Thursday night, the pro-Sanders group brought the actress Susan Sarandon to campus and drew nearly 200 people, though many were from outside the college.
“I salute all the women here who are all going to be in hell with me,” Ms. Sarandon said with a smile as she resurrected the admitted blunder proffered this month by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (a Wellesley College graduate and Clinton ally) — that there is a special place in hell for women who do not support other women.
Ms. Sarandon’s audience whooped and applauded.
The fervor for Mr. Sanders, a senator from Vermont, among millennials is well known; in the New Hampshire primary, he captured 83 percent of voters between 18 and 29, according to exit polls.
That passion is alive and well in Massachusetts, which will hold its Democratic presidential primary on so-called Super Tuesday this week, but there is a big difference here, and it raises a red flag for Mr. Sanders: While he is swamping Mrs. Clinton among millennials, his grip on them is not as tight as it has been in other states. At the same time, Mrs. Clinton is drawing such strong support among older women here that the polls give her a slight edge on Tuesday.
