WASHINGTON - Vermont senator Bernie Sanders dropped out of the presidential race on Wednesday , paving the way for his Democratic rival, former vice-president Joe Biden, to take on President Donald Trump in November.
““I cannot in good conscience continue to mount a campaign that cannot win and which would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour,” he added, a day after Wisconsin controversially went ahead with in-person voting in its primary election despite the statewide stay-home order.
The announcement capped a primary cycle full of twists and turns. Mr Sanders, a Democratic Socialist, nonetheless briefly became the Democratic Party’s frontrunner after several early wins in February, amid a wide field of candidates who fractured the race.
