April 8 , 2020 - Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has ended his run for the Democratic nomination for president. Having also run in 2016 for president , this brings to an end Sanders 5 years quest to become President of the United States.

In an online address to supporters , Sanders said "I wish I could give you better news , but I think you know the truth , and this is that we are now some 300 delegates behind Vice President Biden , and 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 though out the country , I have concluded that this battle for the Democratic nomination will not be successful. And so today I am announcing  the suspension of my campaign."

With Sanders exit , former Vice President Joe Biden is now the presumptive 2020 nominee of the Democratic Party. In a salute to Senator Sanders lets take a look at the history of his candidacy in campaign buttons.
