Bernie Sanders is suspending his 2020 presidential campaign, ceding the Democratic nomination to Joe Biden after a string of losses last month crippled his campaign.
"The greatest obstacle to real social change has everything to do with the power of the corporate and political establishment to limit our vision,” he said. By dropping out of the race, Sanders is forgoing any effort to soldier on purely as a movement candidate for his progressive agenda. That prospect — though appealing to many of his most ideological supporters — appeared to dim recently amid the deadly coronavirus outbreak, which has shut down campaign rallies, delayed upcoming primaries and consumed the public’s attention.
But Biden’s victory in South Carolina led rank-and-file voters, and a number of former rivals for moderate support in the Democratic primary, to coalesce around the former vice president, who drubbed Sanders in 10 of 14 states on Super Tuesday and nearly all of the states that came later in March, including a three-state sweep — Arizona, Florida and Illinoisas well as the critical general-election state of Michigan.
By bowing out now, Sanders is largely forgoing a repeat of the lengthy, bitterly contested nominating contest against Hillary Clinton during his 2016 campaign. His exit will cheer moderate Democrats who feared Sanders’ continued presence in the race would exacerbate fractures in the party ahead of the general election. Calls for Sanders to get out of the race intensified following post-Super Tuesday losses in Michigan and other states.
President Donald Trump, who has sought to fan Democratic Party divisions by frequently suggesting that Sanders was being mistreated by the party establishment, responded quickly to Sanders’ suspension of his campaign.
He has talked to Joe and said he would support him all the way
m_hostage DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OBAMA IS DOING donnie dork
So what does this have to do with the virus? I tune out Trump until the experts come one. Trump is an imbacile.
I’d bet Obama thinks there is something more wrong with the person saying he feels something is wrong. Robot hands is wrong.
Lapidostrous POTUS on Bernie: 'That's not dropping out when you keep your delegates.' Sanders never claimed he was 'dropping out'; the term he used was 'suspending' -- like a hiatus!
Trump spoke with Biden for :15, ostensibly about the Corona Virus. Both agreed not to talk about the call. Biden has no different ideas re: the virus but can’t stay focused in his basement fireside chats. I will bet that Trump learned what Obama already knew: Biden has dementia!
Politico -- you didn't finish the last sentence correctly.....it should read ……'senator on the losing end - again'.
