Se. Bernie Sanders Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders announced today (Wednesday, April 8) that he is suspending his 2020 presidential campaign, making former Vice President Joe Biden the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Noting that he is, at this point, 300 delegates behind Biden, Sanders said, in remarks livestreamed to his supporters shortly after he notified campaign staffers, that “the path toward victory is virtually impossible,” according to reports by NPR and other news outlets.
