“There is no path to victory,” Sanders said. “I have come to the conclusion that this fight for the Democratic nomination will not be successful.” And so today I am announcing its suspension.”

Democratic party leader is former US vice president Joe Biden, who is likely to become Trump’s rival in the November elections.

“Today I congratulate Joe Biden, a very worthy man with whom I will work to advance our progressive ideas,” Sanders said.

“On a practical note, let me say this. I remain on the ballot in all other states and will continue to gain delegates. Joe Biden will be nominated, but we must continue to work to gather as many delegates as possible to the Democratic National Convention, where we can have significant influence in shaping the party platform and other issues,” he explained.

“After this, we will move forward together to defeat Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in modern American history,” Bernie Sanders concluded.

Sanders has a socialist reputation in the United States. His opponents often recall that in his youth, the future senator joined the youth unit of the Socialist Party of America, and in the late 1980s traveled to the Soviet Union and spent his honeymoon there.

As of April 7, Biden enlisted the support of 1 delegates from the Democratic Party. To win the nomination, the candidate must enlist the support of 217 delegates. After Sanders left the race, it was enough for Biden to get the votes of 1 delegates. In fact, he remained the only candidate in the struggle for the nomination.

There was no intrigue in the Republican Party initially, they intend to support the re-nomination of Donald Trump.

The names of the official candidates for the US presidency from the main parties we will learn in the summer of 2020. The presidential elections themselves will be held on November 3.
