Sen. Bernie Sanders announced Wednesday that he was ending his presidential campaign, but promised, “While this campaign is coming to an end, our movement is not.”
“I wish I could give you better news but I think you know the truth,” Sanders told supporters. “I have concluded that this battle for the Democratic nomination will not be successful and so today I am announcing the suspension of my campaign.”
Sanders called his rival Joe Biden “a very decent man” and promised he would “continue working to assemble as many delegates as possible at the Democratic Convention, where we will be able to exert significant influence over the party platform.”
President Trump responded on Twitter: “Bernie Sanders is OUT! Thank you to Elizabeth Warren. If not for her, Bernie would have won almost every state on Super Tuesday!” the president tweeted. “This ended just like the Democrats & the DNC wanted, same as the Crooked Hillary fiasco. The Bernie people should come to the Republican Party, TRADE!”
