Bernie Sanders will push forward in the 2020 presidential race after the latest series of blows to his White House ambitions, he said Wednesday.

Sanders spoke at his campaign headquarters for the first time since another round of Democratic primaries squeezed his hopes of winning the party’s presidential nomination. 

Results from six states Tuesday all but quashed the Vermont senator’s push to rack up a majority of pledged delegates. Carried by projected wins in Mississippi, Missouri, Idaho and all important Michigan, former Vice President Joe Biden took a decisive step toward facing President Donald Trump in November. Sanders will win North Dakota’s caucus, while Washington state’s primary is still too close to call, according to NBC News projections.

Sanders, the race’s front-runner a mere two weeks ago, now needs a rapid turnaround — the likes of which Biden saw when his campaign floundered ahead of the South Carolina primary late last month. The coming days may offer his last chance to alter the shape of the race.  

The firebrand senator will debate Biden one-on-one for the first time on Sunday night in Arizona. He hopes a strong performance will help him Tuesday when four states — Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio — vote and award a trove of nearly 600 pledged delegates.
