Sanders Drops Out, But Arizona Supporters Say They Are Still In The Fight

[TexasTowelie]

TEMPE – Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders suspended his 2020 Democratic presidential bid Wednesday, but his Arizona supporters said they will still push his message of Medicare for all, eliminating student debt and raising the minimum wage.

“He’s changed the paradigm in American politics and we’re never going to go back,” said Dan O’Neal. He said Sanders’ campaign was “something that inspires people, you know, for what’s possible in the future. So I’m optimistic, not pessimistic.”

In an online address to supporters Wednesday, Sanders said that while “the path toward victory is virtually impossible,” he plans to stay on the ballot in the remaining states and continue to gather delegates.

Sanders’ decision clears the way for former Vice President Joe Biden, the only major Democrat remaining in the races. Sanders called the end of his bid a “very difficult and painful decision,” but said he will be working with Biden to “move our progressive ideas forward.”
