According to a post by CNN and activist Shaun King, Sanders made the announcement in a call with his campaign staff. King explained in a tweet:
“We are on a call with @BernieSanders right now and he just told us that he is stepping down from the presidential race. He will be going live to the public in a few minutes. We did our best. He did his best.” Our movement for deep systemic change moves forward.”
As we previously reported, Sanders ran his campaign on the promise of a political “revolution” by touting his signature “Medicare for All” plan. In addition to that, he also promised to cancel student debt and pass free universal child care in an effort to create a better way of life for Americans.
However, after suffering a series of crushing primary losses and the coronavirus pandemic which stalled his campaign for weeks, it looks like he finally decided to cut his journey short to becoming president.
Meanwhile, acting President Donald Trump was excited to hear about the news. He tweeted,
Bernie Sanders is OUT! Thank you to Elizabeth Warren. If not for her, Bernie would have won almost every state on Super Tuesday! 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!
