2020 Democratic primary is a Biden-Sanders race after Bloomberg drops out

The Democratic presidential campaign has turned into a two-person contest between former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, as former New York Mayor Michael D. Bloomberg dropped out of the race Wednesday and threw his support behind Biden. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts was also weighing her future in the dwindling field.

"I've always believed that defeating Donald Trump starts with uniting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it," said Bloomberg, ditching his long-shot bid after spending more than $660 million of his own money on the effort and coming up with only a handful of delegates in Tuesday's 14-state primary. "After yesterday's vote, it is clear that candidate is my friend and a great American, Joe Biden."

In the wake of Tuesday's voting, which delivered a remarkable comeback for Biden, the race now moves to major battleground states in a contest that splits the party along ideological and generational lines.

Turning to the next round of primary battles, Sanders launched new, sharper attacks on Biden on Wednesday, releasing two new ads criticizing Biden's record on Social Security and trade — and a third trying to ally Sanders with former President Obama.

WTF Sanders? I'm sure Biden is not ashamed about being Obama's VP. If you think that's going to win you votes you are delusional.

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

I love that Bloomberg (who joined the race 5 MINUTES AGO) getting out means that this is a two-person race, as though Warren didn't exist and hasn't been campaigning her heart out from the beginning. Fuck this.

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