The 78-year-old Vermont senator is facing increasing pressure to exit the race with former veep Joe Biden, now the presumptive nominee after a string of resounding primary victories gave him a large delegate lead.
But in a series of TV appearances Wednesday morning, Sanders was unrepentant about continuing his White House bid and said he will remain in the race after more than 15 states delayed their primary races due to the coronavirus pandemic.
