Sanders made the announcement in a call with his campaign staff, his campaign said. Sanders' exit caps a stunning reversal of fortune following a strong performance in the first three states that voted in February.

Your anchors are very opinionated it’s not news anymore it’s opinion TV democrat socialist based

Crazy how you won’t cover the Trump press conference is over the virus no wonder people don’t watch CNN go Fox News

corndogqueen69... we need a revolution right now

tranquileyes30 Trump2020 realDonaldTrump

Hah! the face of dementia is the presumptive nominee?

Thank You 🙏 senator Sanders.

They are both a pair of old shoes that need to be tossed. We need someone decades younger.

sad to think of how great this country could have been with this man at the wheel

F Biden

Bernie sanders did noy end his campaign cnn is acutally lying this time. He suspended it you can still vote for him

Thank you sanders, you earn health Minister for free insurance

Still amazes me how people had the choice between some hardcore capitalist, some hardcore capitalist with racism, a terrible haircut and no common sense and in the midst of a global pandemic, with 1/3 of the patients in the US, the guy trying to stop people from ruin loses.

Good news.

Vote for Bernie - He's still on the ballots!

All I can say is Yikes! When seniors have many senior moments it’s time to enjoy retirement and let sharper minds take over. As a dem, I feel defeated.

Always love those with no principles say 'I don't agree or like what Biden is, but I will still vote for him.' That's why the left is a failing ideology. Because you stand for nothing!!!

And in true cnn form, they smear him on the way out.

You all should turn around and come to god I believe corona virus has thought us a lesson that all power belongs to God let there be peace in the world

WRONG! HIS NAME IS STILL ON THE BALLOT! NOTHING BUT BIASED CORPORATE HACKS.

How much money did Bernie get to drop out this time

大米興し、川普王に

😂😂

Cuomo will get the nomination in a contested convention.

They're really going to promote a senile old man with dementia for president. Wtf is going on

...

Thank god

Trump: none of you can fight.

Don't say that Dementia Joe may run into the Forrest thinking there is a literal path cleared for him.

This really sucks.

Wow

Sanders was never in to win. Dems knew this but they needed him for Socialist views government control. FACT

Who cares what the communist news network

FNN

classactKris

Well trumps getting 4 more

mari_palma 😔💔

Shocker

. Sanders' mission, as it was during the 2016 election, was to assure a Trump victory by weakaning a democratic candidate. The Covid-19 messed the plan up. He would otherwise hang around to cause maximum damage to the Biden chances. .

That a boy. Start living. Sleepy Joe can handle it.

Wow! 😨😨😨😨

That won’t help Joe Biden

It’s Bernie or none! Down with the DNC! ✊

I believe in you Bernie. Thank you for your wisdom. Please continue to lead us.

100 million thanks Bernie write a book

POTUS will surely beat him at the polls

Bahaha piece of shit demorat

Bernie had his shot and he was rejected. Now it is time to unite the party.

When will CNN do the same, just end it CNN! Trump2020

Say sike. Rn.

Blip!!!!!!!!! Bernie why Ok, I guess My only choice is Biden.but Biden and Bernie 2020 is a great choice too!!.forcedmyhand bernieshouldvp

Bye bye Communist

Joe Biden is off the rails anymore! He can barely carry on a conversation without stumbling. Democrat party is trying to figure out how to replace him I'm sure!

Nooooo!

Can like old people not be allowed to vote?.. they'll die anyway and the younger generation would suffer because of their votes.. chile

You think Helen Keller would Bow our?

SHET

Congratulations CNN you're getting the president you deserve. It'll be great for ratings when the orange king retains his throne.

Quitter!!!

Well we know Biden can't win that is why the Democratic party wants a mail in vote so they can get the names off graves and have illegal immigrants vote

As long as you get rid of your current loonie-toon commander and chief. The world is already quite concerned.

2020 is gonna be the year the purge starts huh

Biden is a worse candidate than Bob Dole and John Kerry

The Democratic Party is now united, strong & ready for a fight. Thank you Senator BernieSanders. We will win and defeat Trump.

Kudos to Bernie for focusing on the number one goal of defeating Trump not Biden.

5 more years of Trump then. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now let's ALL show up at the polls and vote for Joe!

✊🏽🔥

This sucks

Probably the right move. I hate it because I truly believe the guy wants to make the world a better place for everyone. He’s made an impact and has laid the foundation for something special. Changed the way I look at a lot of things. NeverStopBernie

Now who am I going to vote for? Do I stick a 🍴 fork in the top socket or the bottom socket.

Democrats are now like this

twum_kwabena Your man Trump just got re-elected

2 primaries - 2 L’s

And CNN played a huge part with their unethical coverage of the campaigns. Congrats, you got that anti-monopoly candidate out of the picture, your giant conglomerate is safe! whatsjournalisticintegrity?

Here comes House 4!!! Or will it be a new yacht?

😂😂😂what a joke

Why did the Trump government react so slowly to coronaviruses, not because they were unable to respond, but because they deliberately let the virus outbreak in order to eliminate some of the elderly and reduce the government ’s responsibility

SO did he get a new house? a yacht? new sports car? cash?or all 🤔

LETS GOOOOO BABY! BERNIE IS GONE

Wth?!

Am glad that people will not have to endure what the GOP did to the peeps of Wisconsin anymore...no more primaries.. Now being on November 3rd... quickly...b4 the country implode

Let's hope Joe doesn't get lost on that path. Let's hope Joe remembers he's not running for president of the Senate. Let's hope Joe doesn't say, 'My fellow Antarcticans' Let's hope Joe remembers his own name.

👎

About damn time

Bernie is a goner cnn next

YMoosa17

eww Biden?!!! no wonder the US politics is deteriorating! same old people who are drenched in power and still eager for more! same predatorial behavior, same uselessness! I mean whoever wins this election idc cuz it's a petty competition and they are like identical twin bros ~_~

Nikal lode pahali fursat me nikal....

Ah yes thank god we have a two party system in which you simply vote between two colors instead for who you like 3 America gods greatest nation truly.

docrocktex26 About damn time.

Why didn’t he do this before yesterday? Nothing changed. Why would he let all his supporters risk getting infected and spreading the virus?

nwadialamma what happened?

Bye bye, Comrade

Four more years of trump then. Trump is going to absolutely run circles around sleepy joe not to mention, he’s a rapist. What message is this sending to the youth of today? Trump is a rapist and so is Biden. Something isn’t right in the political world

trump will always have base, the poor, white, uneducated, hell in some cases no education at all, the knuckle dragging flat earthers who believe the Earth is 6,000 yrs old, sorry, their is not enough of them to get him elected, since he wasn't elected legitimately, in 2016.

My first electoral map:

I'm so sorry for the North American people :(

Hopefully Biden remembers that he's running....

Hahaha loser sells out his dope followers

Prepare for Trump second term

Ask jo Biden about one of those tweets that are not him

CNN Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek

RVAdirt You guys missed the part when Bernie backed Hillary after he was cheated and now u just played yourselves all over again. Take the hint. Bernie supporters won’t just flock to Biden. Biden is the worst horse you could’ve bet on. Enjoy the loss.

Still can't believe the dems didn't talk MichelleObama into running

que?

Good decision

I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS

..Why the delay.... Anyways.. 🤞🏿

Trump just won.

Not breaking news.

Telling to see just how many Democrat voters turn against the same dishonest establishment they claim doesn’t exist as long as their candidate is winning. But hey, orange man bad right?

Trump just got re-elected.

Thank god

Fuck you cnn my small middle class Texas isn't going to vote for JoeBiden we will continue to support BernieSanders and the policies he supports

Well, I saw it coming and I said it January this year that Bennie will be Biden's running mate & they will win in landslide including senate and hose

I cant wait to come back to this thread when Trump saves the world

Thanks Bernie for finally bowing out gracefully. Now only if your supporters could follow. The goal is to beat Trump. Lets not cut off our nose to spite our face. Bern supporters 'hold my beer'

Now what will Indian fiberals do... They were waiting for this item to take oath...

He cant even talk...even cnn cut him off

Great! Now my great China can take over the US!

Thank God, the biggest threat to freedom and liberty in American politics in a long time. We are done with him for good.

November, if Trumps makes it that far

Great now we can look forward to the battle of the rapists

FINALLY

😞😞Sad

Now his supporters have at last chance to vote for the right one. President Trump

This isn't a showdown. It will be an electoral massacre. But that was the DNC plan all along. They know Trump is unbeatable and Biden just became the cannon fodder. Plus they managed to sideline the Socialists. Not very smart tho because the Socialists will be back.

Good luck winning when we find out if we would let our doctors wright scripts for hydro to home patients, lives would have been saved .

Berni Gone ! 🎊🎉... Good News .... He was supporting Pakistan , Which is Terrorist State Osama . Thank God USA 🇺🇸 is Saved .

There is a severe lack of quality presidential candidates in the USA. How is it possible that you finish up with Donald Chump and the other guy.

Now if we can only get Biden to follow suit!

Cool. So now we get a senile pedophile instead of someone who actually cares about us. Great.

Finally the loser gave up, next Biden?

This is the best news this month!!!

It's just so stupid to vote for Biden considering the scandals, I can expect an re-election of Trump

To much work for an old Communist that never really worked a day in his life.

It sucks that we can’t have Bernie, but if it’ll get Trump out of office then we gotta give him our vote

So glad this Islamic Terrorism sympathizer has understood his rightful place.

Torture and oppression to the oppressed people of the world will end someday by a Unitarian man from the pure generation of Abraham, and their tears will be cleared without any fear and pain. ThePromisedSaviour

Dear CNN , JohnKingCNN, DanaBashCNN , SenSanders DID say good things about JoeBiden! He said, 'Today, I congratulate JoeBiden , a very decent man. Who I will work with, to move our progressive ideas forward.' GET IT STRAIGHT!!! LIARS! CnnBiased4Biden

🙏🏻😢 not voting for Biden See no reason to trade 1 dummy for the other

I want to believe Trump that you’re fake news

Everybody is reporting Bernie ending campaign. Nobody is reporting he is staying on ballots and collecting as many delegates as possible to influence the platform.

It’s about damn time! Unfortunately, Bernie fans will continue to attack Biden while complaining about the Trump presidency

For you dumbasses:

What the actual fuck?

TatorTots2012 F

Biden has to EARN every one of our votes through policy changes to a more progressive stance. he is not inevitable, he needs to get out there and actually do the work and campaign for the presidency. the race is his to win or lose

Enjoy losing losers

Oh no

Political_Chat Yeah OK, Bruni was a communist, and he dropped out leaving a total in or manufactured idiot to take his place, is the demon Kratz going to replace him or watch who the vice pres is? Joe, Has no say, that he can remember

It’s a Passover miracle!

Good riddance. ByeByeBernie

Poor joe still a basement dweller

Thank you Bernie. Joe listen to him. Listen and act.

Congratulation to Trump's re-elected

I pray Trump is re-elected but there are plenty of people in this country who will have absolutely no problem voting for a 77 year old dementia patient.

So our options are a white rapist who only cares about other rich people and... a white rapist who only cares about other rich people? Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.

Cry communists babies!

Oof America is doomed 🤷🏻‍♀️

Say it ain’t so!! Oh Go ahead and say it.! Best news I’ve heard in 6 weeks!

Bye Bye Bernie.

He will always be remembered for his contribution to American politics and a man all times

he would win.

Dems only chance is voter fraud at this point

Good riddance

Now fake news has only one horse to back and still the only other horse to flog. So sad for the journalists. Same rhetoric ame balderdash.

D_OD_93 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

clearing trumps path to re-election.

drkzooo matt_ohaugherty

Wish Biden would, he doesn’t have a hope in hell.

Bernie Sanders will REMAIN on the ballot picking up delegates, said nothing nice about JoeBiden. Sanders2020 says he’s doing this because of Trump’s handling of CoronavirusPandemic, lest we forget Saint Bernie Sanders of the NRA helped elect Trump! Rogan just endorsed Trump!

get ready for 4 more years of the same if not worse lol

YasMohammedxx

Congrats to Trump on his 2nd term and the Dems for another 4 years of donations from the donor class. The corporatist oligarchy wins again.

Guess the goal now is simply to get that orange turd out of office

This is a sad day ,almost every single candidate had a better shot at beating Trump then Joe Biden ,Trump just got re-elected

Congrats to you got what you wanted. Oh, and fuck you.

Bye you socialist clown 👋🏽😁

Congrats America on giving yourselves another 4 years of Trump I guess.

Bernie deserves our gratitude for stepping up and making the decision to put country first.....

I can't believe the DNC picked BIDEN LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO

And now, just like in 2016, he will puss out and ask his supporters to back the DNC pick - Joe Biden - the same DNC that has now hosed Bernie TWICE. Bernie, your supporters are a bunch of btches just like you.

Biden dosen't even know what day it is.. The Best the Democrats have.. LMFAO

Good lord, never thought I would consider re-electing Trump. BidenLosesToTrump

MikeBloomberg should be the choice, they would be surprised Trump would run them over again.

Well that is very brave! But yes it is right that he step down. Trump needs a good run for his money and I reckon Joe Biden can really give this 'showdown' a good crack.

Why does he drop out every campaign! Why start something people believe in and just end it ?😭😭😭

well it's over

Now, who will replace Biden?

I FUCKING HATE THIS COUNTRY

no fucking way

nah im actually in tears

Was not expecting that at all.

Disaster ... Fucking Democrats you did it again ...

congrats US, you're going to have 4 more years of the same administration

BernieSanders supporters, jump on the TrumpTrain2020 we would love to have you!

What do you mean by “showdown”?! 🤣 It won’t even be close. Biden can’t even complete a full sentence.

It’s pretty bad that our only two choices for democrats are two men that looked like they are wondering around after getting out of a old folks home smh

Well...

What if Biden also ends his campaign. If Biden ends his campaign, he will also be one of the hero of justice for the whole world.

Clearing Bidens path to embarrassment

Biden2020 cannot beat theworsePresidentinAmericanhistory TrumpIsALooser but he will win in 2020... Because many USA are thinking MoneyFirst not HumanityFirst Unless democrats convince NYGovCuomo CuomoForPresident we will waste another 4 yrs... CNN PIX11News News12 😌
