Senator Bernie Sanders will stay in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination despite suffering a series of sweeping losses to front-runner Joe Biden. Sanders said he looked forward to a debate with the former Vice President next week
BURLINGTON, Vt. - A resolute Bernie Sanders said on Wednesday he would stay in the Democratic presidential race despite a series of big losses to front-runner Joe Biden, promising to keep up the public pressure for his sweeping economic and social justice proposals.
Biden, 77, and Sanders, 78, will debate in Phoenix on Sunday ahead of nominating contests next Tuesday in Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio. Many Democratic voters, however, still believe Biden has the best chance of beating Trump, Sanders said.

But Democrats who worried Sanders’ agenda would doom the party to defeat in November have rushed to rally around Biden. Biden’s decisive victories on Super Tuesday and in Tuesday’s showdown in Michigan created a growing sense of inevitability about his candidacy. Sanders said he looked forward to advocating for his progressive agenda during the debate on Sunday, and previewed some of his questions for Biden.
