'Despite ending his second and presumably last presidential campaign, Sanders has unquestionably changed the landscape of American politics' via hunterw
Sen. Bernie Sanders announced he is ending his presidential bid on Wednesday morning in a conference call with his staff. Sanders’s campaign subsequently announced his decision and said he will be speaking to supporters via livestream before noon.
The quick shift in the primary was a painful one for Sanders, particularly since the senator and many of his allies believed the coronavirus spotlighted the need for the aggressive expansion of public health programs that was a core part of his platform. Nevertheless, in the final days of his campaign, Sanders’s decision to remain in the race as the possibility of a victory slipped away frustrated even some of his senior staff.
When he entered the House of Representatives and later the Senate, Sanders remained an independent though he caucused with the Democrats. From this position, Sanders was often a lone voice advocating for progressive positions. Similar to 2016, Sanders faced accusations his supporters were largely young, white “Bernie Bros” who sparred with supporters of his rivals online. Yet Sanders also had significant support from African-American voters, though not nearly as much as Biden.
