After more than a year of campaigning, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is reportedly suspending his bid for the Democratic nomination.

According to Buzzfeed, Sanders told his staff he'd be ending his campaign in a call on Wednesday morning. The senator has yet to make a formal announcement. 

Though Sanders initially emerged as the frontrunner following wins in the Iowa caucuses, New Hampshire primary, and Nevada caucuses, former Vice President Joe Biden soon overtook Sanders with a major win in South Carolina, and then sweeping victories on Super Tuesday and Big Tuesday.

Sanders previously campaigned in 2016, but lost the nomination to Hillary Clinton.

With Sanders’s withdrawal, Biden is the default presidential nominee for the Democratic Party. Biden will go up against Donald Trump in the general election come November.
