Bernie Sanders has ended his campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
The 78-year-old's departure from the race leaves a clear run for rival Joe Biden to take on Donald Trump in November.
The Vermont senator's hopes at the candidacy were dashed when South Carolina and several other battleground primaries were won by Mr Biden.
Analysts put Mr Sanders' decline down to the coronavirus crisis forcing the cancellation of political rallies, which is where he thrived.
