Requiem for A Movement: Bernie Sanders Ends His Presidential Campaign--And Any Hope for True Democracy Within the Democratic Party

Bernie Sanders, the independent U.S. senator from Vermont and erstwhile 2020 presidential candidate, brought his campaign to an end on Wednesday.

In a brief televised statement, Sanders thanked his supporters for helping him bring new ideas and energy to the Democratic Party, along with an influx of new soldiers in an electoral battle to defeat Trump.

His campaign had made great strides, Sanders said, but ahead are even greater obstacles and impediments that, as he assessed the situation, would be almost impossible to overcome.

Sanders ending his campaign leaves a wide-open path now for former vice president Joe Biden, favored by the party establishment.

Leid Stories suspects there is much more to Sanders' "Good luck, but I'm outta here" farewell. Listeners share their views.l
