Sanders to press on against Biden after primary losses [View all]

Politico

Bernie Sanders is staying in the 2020 presidential race and planning to debate Joe Biden on Sunday despite a string of recent primary losses, according to a person with knowledge of Sanders’ plans ahead of a Wednesday press conference.

Sanders is speaking in Vermont after losing four out of six states with primaries on Tuesday, winning in North Dakota but falling to Joe Biden in Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri and Michigan — the state where Sanders had made his biggest stand to try to stop Biden's momentum this week. The primary in Washington state is still too close to call.

The results pushed Sanders further behind Biden in the delegate race for the Democratic presidential nomination, after Biden carried 10 of 14 states on Super Tuesday the week before. The two candidates are set to face off in a debate this weekend in Phoenix ahead of four more primaries on March 17: Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
