US President Donald Trump blamed Elizabeth Warren for Bernie Sanders ending his democratic primary campaign for 2020 presidential elections on April 8. After Sanders announced the suspension of his campaign on Wednesday, Trump took to Twitter claiming the Vermont Senator would have won most of the states on Super Tuesday.
Trump suggested a conspiracy of Democrats and Democratic National Committee (DNC) behind the ending of Sanders' campaign. The US President even offered Sanders supporters to come to the Republican party in a bid to gain those voters who are furious with the so-called Democratic establishment.
Bernie Sanders is OUT! Thank you to Elizabeth Warren. If not for her, Bernie would have won almost every state on Super Tuesday! This ended just like the Democrats & the DNC wanted, same as the Crooked Hillary fiasco. The Bernie people should come to the Republican Party, TRADE!

'Winning struggle ideologically'
Joe Biden, whom Sanders called a “very decent man” while announcing the campaign suspension, has now become the presumptive Democratic nominee for the presidential elections. During the announcement, Sanders said that they are winning the struggle ideologically as well as generationally.
“The future of this country is with our ideas,” said the Vermont Senator referring to the progressive movement.
Senator Warren thanked Sanders for relentlessly fighting for America’s working class and said that they will together keep working to hold the wealthy accountable to the people.
Thank you @BernieSanders, for fighting so relentlessly for America’s working families during this campaign. Your fight for progressive ideas moved the conversation and charted a path for candidates and activists that will change the course of our country and party.
