Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) dropped out of the Democratic presidential race, paving the way for former Vice President Joe Biden to win the 2020 nomination.
Sanders was unable to build on his early momentum in the race after wins in New Hampshire and Nevada as well as virtual tie in Iowa, going on to lose a string of states to Biden after the former vice president consolidated the support of moderate Democrats.
The departure marks Sanders's second failed attempt at the Democratic nomination after he came up short in his 2016 challenge against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The 2016 campaign did, however, vault Sanders to household name status after he cobbled together a loyal base of support from largely young voters who grew enamored with his progressive policies and efforts to push the party further left.

Congratulations, Joe! You are the designated roadkill.
Wonder how much Bloomberg paid him. Remember, he can do what he wishes with the money in the kitty.
Is another beach house in he Comrade’s near future?
Maybe next time, Bernie. /s
It’s all over but the laughing. We should encourage any and all bur-knee bros to protest by either not voting or voting for the current CINC to show them dems they can’t do that to their hero. That’ll show ‘em.
So Sanders is down and Biden is in the basement. Go Joe!! LOL
Get that nice private jet?
Santa Claus returning to the North Pole?
Biden has a clear shot at the Presidency!
If he can find his way out of his basement....
Not to worry.
His daughter, AOC, will carry on his legacy.
Yep, Sanders is much wealthier now.
I guess he’ll share the wealth./s
Sander’s was able to sucker his base TWICE!
Clearing the field for Cuomo
He should have brokered his departure when he was in a stronger bargaining position. Instead of two houses and a Bugatti like last time, all he got was a one-finger salute.
I’m sure Biden’s secret service detail is thrilled. / sarcasm
How much did Soviet Socialist, Comrade Sanders get?
That clears the path for Biden to run for, um, I forget...
