to the sanders base. the sanders people, including alexandria ocasio-cortez of new york, who has been quite critical of joe biden and what he represents. how does he, and maybe the flip side is elizabeth warren, who has been much more complimentary, how does he find a way with progressive democrats to say i get it. we may not agree on everything, but my door is open. you will be at the table. >> let's be clear. there is, i think it's fair to say, a minority of sanders supporters who joe biden will never get. you know, as we were going through the process, i was texting with somebody who was a bernie sanders delegate in 2016 who was telling me that he and several people who he went with were never going to be joe biden. but it's in the hopes of the joe biden campaign the minority. what is going on right now is people in and around bernie sanders, texting with a couple of them as our colleagues have been speaking, are working with and have been working with bernie sanders to extract maximum leverage. and ev

we will hear from senator sanders at 11:45. i was listening to a call he had with staff when he announced this, when he made this announcement to them. he said this is painful and difficult decision for them. he said he was proud of the work they did. they should be proud of the work, pushing the issues he's been talking about. he referenced things like medicare for all and the increased popularity of the program, increased the idea of minimum wage, raising it to $15 an hour. it's very clear he wants to continue to tout those programs, tout his policies, but as far as the campaign, in his path towards the nomination and being the democratic nominee, something he thought and his campaign thought he was on a path to just about a month ago, he has now acknowledged he no longer has that path. he will be announcing he's suspending that campaign to his supporters in about 15 minutes. craig. >> shaq, also stand by for me, if you can. again, folks, we are -- i'm wearing this mask because we're at one of these drive-through testing faci

, on sanders. "maybe it's time to close ranks." the question will be whether or not biden can reach out to, but also whether or not sanders sends a clear signal. does he at some point endorse? what is he saying? just earlier, this week or last week, you saw senator elizabeth warren, who is sanders' kind of powell on the left, see that she sees joe biden as strong and capable and steady, and a very good leader. well, that kind of language, it wasn't an all out endorsement, but that kind of language said to the elizabeth warren supporters, "we are getting in line with joe biden." will easy similar language now coming from bernie sanders? he was praising in his remarks his surrogate. what about aoc? what about alexandria ocasio-cortez? can she now say, "our goal is no longer beating joe biden, our goal is defeating donald trump, and i'm in line --" >> harris: she had already started to do that, though. she had already started to say, she said, "medicare for all but were, we have to take a look." remem

there's something about bernie sanders that i like he's a rebel he has been bernie sanders for 30 plus years what you see is what you get this is what he said he's authentic he believes in whether it's right or whether there's something to be said for that and agreed and number 2 i feel so sorry for yet again young people who put their money and their time and their effort and their belief in somebody only to have their pulled away let me tell you you know who is going to be the person responsible for the ultimate double crossed bernie because he never had it in his mind at all to take this all the way and that's the sad part because i'm telling you i just wanted to see maybe add to that it will give me politically or ideologically there's something about him that i'd like dammit he stands for something and that's refreshing you know you danny one of the thing i go i guess ever since super tuesday actually even before it i mean in my small circle that i talk on a very regular basis about politics there's one thing and most of my friends are conservative but most people almost all conse

you heard senator sanders say the struggle continues. that is how he ended his comment, held a livestream he had for reporters. the interesting thing about his comments is we made a note, he will remain on the ballot and continue delegates and it's partially because he says he believes he won the ideological campaign, the ideological battle and contest for ideas. you heard him mention that and lay out those ideas, things like medicare for all, green new deal, raising the minimum wage. he believes the party has moved with him on those issues. and he wants to lock in that success, and potentially exert pressure on vice president biden to maintain that success and maintain those ideas in the movement of the party. he also acknowledges he did not have the path forward. it was notable senator sanders said over the past couple of weeks he and his wife had been assessing the path forward for his campaign. that's something we heard him start mentioning after he had that loss in michigan, a state he won in 2016 but lost by a large margin this tim

we will play highlights of sanders' speech and with naomi sanders' historic presidential campaigign and coronavirus capitalism. president trump's response to the pandemic. >> this administration is uniquely illll-equipped to deal with this crisis because they are not treating it as a health crisis but a pr crisis. amy: we look at the disproportionate toll the coronavirus is taking on african-americans. >> we aree talking abobout it me now w as we are beginnining as a community, the african-american community, people are talking more about it now because everyone seemsms to know someone who this has touched already.. seems to know someone whose life has been lost because of the virus. amy: we will speak with family physician, epidemiologist dr. camara phyllis jones, past president of the american health association, who says coronavirus disease discriminates. our health care doesn't have to. all of that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we are broadcasting from the epicenter of the pandemic in the united states, n

start convinced that the electability of bernie sanders who wasn't there. he wasn't the one they thought who can beat donald trump joe biden on the other hand he kept allies on this and he got the african-american vote he got. older and made a democrats in their corner and then let's not forget they were the endorsements of elizabeth warren and all the others who dropped out of the race earlier than bernie sanders now so super tuesday biden steamrolled bernie sanders and that was the beginning of the end ok so this speech tonight then is good news for joe biden it is good news for joe biden joe biden will now hopefully i'm sure he will cooperate with bernie sanders bernie sanders has said he will cooperate with joe biden that's important he made this a lure to having a really really broad grassroots movement rather than just a campaign and then he was that he won the ideological battle not so sure about this but nevertheless a lot of young people and to the yes the newcomers to politics are sanders supporters and they want significant change and if sanders

campaign and the sanders leftovers, so to speak.hil: thank you for that. now we will take a look at some of the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic. the death now more than 80 -- nearly 1.5 million confirmed infection since the outbreak began. i natural institutions have agreed to provide emergency funding to the german british tour operator to help the company through the crisis. the south african president has put his communications minister on special leave for two months for breaking the rules of the countries locked down by having lunch with the former official. the number of confirmed cases in africa has passed 10,000, according to figures from the world health organization. the earpieces -- european commission extending the current ban on non-essential travel into its passport free zone until may 15. an initial 30 days in an effort to contain the pandemic. it's up to member states, however, to decide to go along with the proposed extension. some european countries are starting to relax lockdown restrictions, while

they're willing to lose donald trump to avoid seeing bernie sanders succeed go ahead jason . well i'm more in line with bernie sanders myself but the thing is the same thing in 2016 the voters were not and you know you can talk about some of the things that the d.n.c. did in 2016 that there's no evidence that they're doing now but the fact is that you know while i have been now advocating for bernie sanders on many different outlets and saying that bernie sanders is a better candidate you know gabbert as my friend advocated for her on certain occasions joe biden is the person who's winning and that's the democratic process and it seems that he's the person that people are choosing and want to be the nominee and we have to respect that now again about joe biden's you know mental fitness and all of that and president trump people are acting as though president trump is i agree with jen that he's very entertaining but this idea 5 that he's so incredibly sharp we wouldn't be having this conversation if you if you were that sharp so i think you're going to have 2 elderly men on th

joe biden was frankly nice to bernie sanders when he was a member of the senate back when bernie sanders new and a lot of people weren't. bernie sanders remembers that a little bit like when you're an intern in this town and you remember who treated you with respect and who didn't. and i think that, you know, the grace that joe biden, with which joe biden has treated bernie sanders is going to go a long way with a good chunk of bernie sanders' supporters anyway. >> peter baker, the president always viewed bernie as an ally even if bernie didn't act -- didn't want to be the president's ally but he sort of weirdly always used him. he tweeted this today, which i find interesting, because it is such a mixed messaging when it comes to bernie. here's trump. bernie sanders is out. thank you to elizabeth warren. if not for her bernie would have won almost every state on super tuesday. probably not true but that's okay. this ended just like the democrats and dnc wanted -- same as the crooked hillary fiasco. the bernie people should come to the republican party, trade. it is that last line that so

it was kind of sanders in iowa and then sanders, sanders in new hampshire and nevada. it that's what moment, that's the moment in past campaigns democratic and republican when a candidate starts to win the early states that you get a bandwagon effect. you start to get more endorsements. you start doing better in the next wave of states. a bandwagon effect takes hold. in the past we've seen voters like to get behind the front-runner instead with bernie sanders this is the thing we have not seen before in a the kraic ra democratic race. his great success, especially when he won nevada, it was a gut check moment for the democratic party, for democratic voters and they all sort of collectively asked themselves, are we sure we want to do this? are we sure we want to get behind bernie sanders? and then, of course, you went to south carolina, jim said i'm with joe biden. biden's poll numbers started moving up. he was always leading in south carolina. but we were not expecting this. the absolute landslide that south carolina turned into a 30 point victory for biden. remember,

warren's candidacy was in part to blame for sanders's downfall, he tweeted bernie sanders is out, thank you to elizabeth for them if not for her bernie would have won almost every state on supertuesday, this ended just like the democrats andy and see what it, same as the crooked hillary fiasco, bernie people should come to the republican party, donald trump wants to capitalize on positions he and sanders share entrÉe, both are hockey sunshine and sanders even previously said he supported tariffs although he disagreed with how donald trump implemented them. in 2016 sanders criticized the transpacific partnership saying they led to the downfall of american manufacturing. >> we agree the united states has been ripped off by every country they do business with. i have done a lot about it and we made incredible trade deals including usmc a, bernie sanders people believe -- i got a lot of them, that surprised people but didn't surprise me. >> reporter: corner to one analysis, one in 10 sanders supporters voted for trump in the general election making a critical impact in states like michigan,

but senator sanders ran a great race.ally put forward a lot of great ideas about the future of this country and where we need to go. i think one of his most important contributions is makingea it very clear that hlth care should be a right in this country, not a privilege for the wealthy. and i think together, we will move towards a medicare for all-type system, perhaps starting with the virus, perhaps starting wit expansion of medicaid and medicare so everyone has access to those programs. ofthis typpidemic we are in right now shows how important it is to have a social safety net. he also talked about something that is importt to me, which is national paid leave. if we had paid leave in this country, we would already have lae infrastructure in for people to be able to stay home for three months if their 'children'school has been closed, or if a fami member is ill. gwe do norantee that in this country, and we need to. so we need national paid leave along with universal sick days. everyone needs to week sick days, especial

how will biden persuade sanders supporters to vote for him and what role does sanders need to play if the democrats really want to beat donald trump? >> i think that biden has an easier case than clinton did in 2016 to pull in bernie sanders voters because we have four years of trump, right? democrats can look at this and say, we want to get this man out of office, even if we don't particularly like this candidate. i think he has an easier road to hoe than clinton did. this was enough of a margin in the states of wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania to put him over the top. so biden really does need to make an appeal to, you know, bernie sanders supporters if he wants to win this election. >> right. sanders changed the debate on health care in the united states, and now during this global pandemic we are seeing the common health care system laid bare with all its flaws. how likely is it that biden will consult with sanders and perhaps consider including some of his policy ideas? >> i think bernie sanders has already profoundly changed the landscape of america politics. he has pulled j

dr bernie sanders has just ended his presidential campaign paving the way for intel biden we're going to discuss this with next with our friends cutting our heroes and then later at the sports and brings us some feel that state of the 2020 and if else either. what is the difference between embarrassing gaffes in elder abuse joe biden certainly excels at the former and maybe is the victim of the latter we're told dimension of mental health is off limits to what degree is the public the right to know. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safer a. solution for community thank. you good in the right way or are you being. done to. watch is true watch is free. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or i'm a blue shiloh's. i don't trust medical authority at all never and there isn't for that as i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically la

but as political reporter greg lee tells us, sanders is not going quietly.>> bernie sanders is dropping, the vermont senator ended his presidential campaign after former vice president joe biden built a nearly insurmountable delegate lead. >> i cannot in good conscious to continue to mount a campaign i cannot win, which would interfere with the important work required from all of us during this difficult time. >> from his home he thanked his supporters and staff heard the democratic socialist faced mounting goals within the party to suspend and continue to push his ideas and solutions toward the coronavirus pandemic.>> we must continue working to assemble as many delegates as possible for the democratic convention where we will be able to exert significant influence over the party platform. >> biden sent out a statement thanking his opponent for his continued impact and spoke directly to sanders a base, you are more than welcome, you are needed. the president also chimed in saying the bernie party should come to the republican party. >> i think it really is important for the biden campi

laura: as we have been reporting, bernie sanders has dropped out of the femocratic ra psident.video this morning senator sanders said he cou not in good conscience continue with a interfered the important workh required in this difficult hour. he has become a champion of the working class, but after big losses to joe biden in super tuesday,hw his pat to the nomination became virtually here's more. reporter: for many months, bernie sanders topped the polls, wiing in the early voting states and becoming the standardbearer of the progressive winicof the democrarty. but it was not to be. >> i wish i could give you better news, but i think you know the truth. and that is that we are now some 300 delegates behind vice president, bidnd the path toward victory is virtually impossible. so while we are winning the ideological battle, and while we are winning the support of so many young people, and working people throughout the country, i have ccluded that this battle for the democratic nomination will not be successful. when you are sick have the right to go to the doctor. period. repor

so biden was signaling to sanders privately that he was ready to move on and now apparently sanders isou can see on our screen in addition to you, a moment ago we were seeing a showing a live feed of his website. you see right there, approximately 11:45 a.m. eastern time. take a step back from this development. it's interesting that as you see he is suspending, not officially dropping out in the sense that if things were to change with joe biden, if all of a sudden there were things contested at the convention he could on suspend this campaign, number one. number two, it's got to be odd for you to cover this campaign. you have access and you were right up there asking questions of joe biden. he's off in delaware doing his news conferences every now and again which are virtual. and that you can't see them up close anymore. >> it's a lot different because it was almost a year ago that he popped up at the train station in wilmington, delaware, for his first public appearance as a candidate. i was able to walk right up to him and ask him a question. and that extended all the way through un

and i can tell you the sanders supporters, the sanders delegates are probably not too happy today. they're probably mad as a mama wasp, so i wouldn't say burning is completely out of this. i will say this, i don't think i've ever seen a member of a party changes party as much as senator sanders has without being the head of the party. in the last seven years since senator sanders started running for president, socialism, abortion, illegal immigration have become moral goods according to many mainstream members of the democratic party. the party has been moved substantially to the left, including the standard-bearer, vice president biden. >> shannon: yeah, it will be interesting to see, as you mentioned, the unusual steps he took today and didn't take today to see where this ends up. i want to talk to about what's going on there in louisiana because you all have had a really rough go of it with the virus down there, but it sounds like a little bit of good news today, the munro news star saying louisiana reported another one-day record for coronavirus deaths, but hospitalizations and

the bernie -- the bernie sanders ideas, the bernie sanders proposals, may be meeting their moment at a time when there is an appetite for government to be more involved and yet, bernie sanders, the legislature has never been an aggressive guy. do you imagine his ideas become more talked about on capitol hill, at least and does he play that role? or is it somebody else? is it aoc or other people that carry the baton? >> i think he's definitely going to have a role to play. i think a lot of the younger supporters have really looked to alexandra ocasio-cortez as a future of the movement. i think your point is absolutely correct. we're old enough to remember when republicans, were talking how democrats were going to nominate a socialist. that was before a republican president signed a $2.2 trillion rescue package that amounts to the government trying to take on a role it's never had to do before. the events, we're right in the middle of it. it's hard to grapple how it will fundamentally change things going forward. but when you have millions of people potentially losing health insurance,

. >> senator bernie sanders there. a live stream from his home in burlington, vermont, announcing he is suspending his 2020 presidential campaign, bowing out of the democratic presidential race, making clear he thinks it is critical to beat president trump. senator sanders, as he says good-bye to his second presidential campaign, 2016 and now 2020, saying he believes that his and his supporters are winning the ideological war within the democratic party and within the country. he said, though, he wants to continue to keep his delegates and amass as many delegates as possible, even as he's now out of the race, for leverage at the democratic convention. ryan nobles is with us, our political director david chalian, chief political correspondent dana bash. dana bash, to you first. what struck me the most there is senator sanders, in saying good-bye, did acknowledge that joe biden had an insurmountable lead, but he didn't say anything nice about joe biden. he did not say spoken to, he did not say he would work with him. he

but what we have to remember hear his bernie sanders failed in his efforts.uscled out, he didn't get squeezed. joe biden one and he won in large part because the democratic party fled from bernie sanders. >> can i just say that i think chris is one of the smartest voices in politics but i did think it was rather uncanny that all these democratic candidates got out without running out of money. so i do think the obama team and the clinton team really thought this was their moment to act. and the democrats were so much better at having an establishment candidate. >> dana: we got to run. but strategy if you have the right one, it can work. matt, we like the beard, looks really good. small businesses across the country struggling to keep their doors open during the pandemic. coming up i will speak to one owner forced to change his entire business model as well as apply for loans from the stimulus funds. you will hear from him, next. he's a good musical mythica when managing diabetes you can't always stop for a fingerstick. with the freestyle libre 14 day system,

this chaotic democratic campaign began with senator sanders on top.e even plowed ahead after a heart attack last fall. but he conceded today the coronavirus pandemic is one of the reasons he's getting out, and he was forced to make his remarks from home in vermont alone with no supporters by his side. senator bernie sanders admitted today that his path to victory is virtually impossible. >> if i believed we had a feasible path to the nomination, i would certainly continue the campaign. but it's just not there. >> reporter: sanders trails joe biden by more than 300 delegates, but he said he's keeping his name on the ballot in states that have yet to hold primaries, hoping to force democrats to adopt some of his more liberal views. that could complicate things for biden who today thanked sanders and reached out to his supporters. opyou ll jus said l leu' sanders had seemed unstoppable, easily winning early contests. >> we won the new hampshire primary. h cheers ) we won the nevada caucus. ( cheers ) >> reporter: but just before peper tuesday, several ca

well overall wall street is cheering that bernie sanders is out bernie sanders was pretty critical of 4 wall street you're critical of stock share buybacks are critical of corporations and some high ranking in your view towards not paying enough for texas so there was this fear sort of on wall street that there could be a left turn when it comes to politics in the united states and that's not going to happen either under joe biden or under president donald trump overall the market did very well here on wednesday blue chips up by almost 800 points of it in an increase of roughly 3 and a half percent. in new york thank you. well the european union struggling to find common ground as it tries to shore up its coronavirus a hit economist southern european members want the e.u. to do more to easy access to financial markets by creating a euro bonds will corrode of bonds as i think old but wealthy and northern nations such as germany the netherlands and finland are opposed to this idea of american talks on tuesday night failed the pressure is now on for a u. finance ministers to do a deal on

sanders had been in favor of that.sult, there weren't that many nevadas on the map for bernie sanders. but certainly that core sanders constituency, the biden campaign hopes sanders will be able to bring those voters to biden without much incident. we'll see if that happens. but when i say our understanding of the sanders coalition maybe has changed a little bit, to give you an example here, these are the new numbers we just got today. remember, just before sanders dropped out last week, they had the wisconsin primary. they had the vote. today they actually released the totals. this is what happened there last week. 63% for biden. 31% for sanders. this was one of bernie sanders' best states in 2016. remember, he won by 14 points in wisconsin over hillary clinton in 2016. this time he lost by a two to one margin. look, this is what wisconsin looked like when it was sanders versus clinton. almost every county in the state except milwaukee, every county in wisconsin was sanders in '16. this time around, not a single berni

, or sanders-lite f e formulations l student debt, issues that are important to the sanders coalitionnue to meet and sort of try to work out solutions that are palatable to both camps, as the party tries to unite as tightly as it possibly can. >> a.b.? >> yeah, i think that -- it is really hard biden's in his basement and so is everybody, for him to hold events with bernie supporters and try to have some kind of, you know, building some kind of unity w n when, you know, they had to do an endorsement over skype and that's the kind of event that would have been very important to have, to do in person and show that kind of rapport that biden and bernie happen to have, much to the surprise of many democrats. at the convention, for example, biden doesn't really need to reintroduce him. i mean, introduce him to the country, so, it's okay that he might end up with a virtual convention, telling his story and bringing together the various factions in the party. but it's important to try to take advantage of this endorsement and do what he can. i don't know if he's going to livestream events wi

bernie sanders is out. what's not settled? can joe biden win over sanders' supporters?. stay with us. ♪ ♪ >>> and we are back. there was some political developments this week. wei] had bernie sanders officiay dropping out or and jon meacham, we had the chaos of the wisconsin primary. i'll say chaos. i'll put up some clips here. the decision to hold that primary. they had problems with their absentee ballot situation. there were long waits. middle of the pandemic. now the state is going to do contract tracing on new coronavirus cases to see just how much of a debacle that might have been for our health. what is the more significant development of the week in this campaign? wisconsin showing how hard it is to hold an actual election during a pandemic or sanders finally bowing out? >> i think that the wisconsin drama is the iceberg warning for the election in november. and we have to focus very strongly on this. it's a fundamental voting rights question. vote by mail, which the president has attacked, has been proven to be quite successful and secure. and i think that all

what will bernie sanders supporters do? liz has a look at that question. >> the coronavirus has put a lot about the election up in the area. sanders path to the nomination was virtually impossible. we talked to some of his local supporters about it. >> i am announcing the suspension of my campaign. >> seeing bernie sanders drop unite of the race this morning was not support be to his supporters, but no less disappointing. >> a lot of sadness, because we've all worked so hard on this campaign. >> nationally, sanders is trailing behind biden. california was his strong hold. he beat the former vp in the state's primary. >> for a brief moment it looked like he was going to be a nominee. to have that all taken away, and to have this national pandemic happen is showing how much harm the economy is having on our middle class. >> what's next? >> joe biden was clearly going to be the nominee the questions facing the democratic party right now, what are bernie sanders going to do. >> what is it going to take for you to vote for biden

i think he'll listen, he'll listen to bernie sanders, he'll listen to bernie sanders, he'll listen ton to his supporters. he's a lwa ys listen to his supporters. he's always been that way, mike, he listens to everybody and makes the best decision he possibly can. i don't consider him moving to the left or being more liberal, ijust consider him being joe biden, that inclusive, beautiful spirit of his. how do you expect this to play out? president donald trump is calling himself a wartime president, harder to dislodge, anything that goes wrong is the fault of china or the who, and it is difficult forjoe biden to campaign at the moment even if the election goes ahead, how do you see it playing? first, let me address the first part of that. it is absolutely absurd and president donald trump must think we are stupid for us not to recognise that he lost over two months of time that he should have been preparing, planning and preventing. there are innocent people who have lost their lives in our nation because of his delayed response, his diminishment of the pandemic. this is absolutely absu

that could complicate things for biden who today thanked sanders.anders had seemed unstoppable, easily winning early contests. >> we won the new hampshire primary. ( cheers ) we won the nevada caucus. ( cheers ) >> reporter: but just before super tuesday, several candidates dropped out and endorsed biden, catching sanders off guard. bbiden has never looked back as the pandemic's freeze on the campaign stopped any chances of a bernie rebound. recent polls give biden a slight edge over president trump nationwide and in key swing states. just minutes after sanders' announcement, the trump campaign released this ad... >> they're more alike than you think. >> reporter: ...trying to tied biden more closely to sanders. cbs news has learned the biden and sanders campaigns have been work together for weeks to figure which of the senator's policy proposals the former vice president might be able to adopt to further unify the party. a senior biden adviser tells us we can expect more on that in the nearure. norah. >> o'donnell: moments ago, president trump said
