Because many states moved their primaries out of April, the former VP is expected to officially hit the 1,991 delegate threshold on June 2. All of this is now moot as Senator Sanders has conceded he cannot win the nomination, and while he isn\u2019t technically \u201crunning\u201d for president going forward he\u2019s still actively trying to garner at least 25% of the delegates so he can force changes to the party rules and platform.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"FEUSA Family Business Survey.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, now in line to take on President Donald Trump this fall, proposed to pay for a broad plan to forgive student loan debt by rolling back the parts of the law that allow pass-through businesses to carry back losses and suspend limits on owners using business losses to offset other income.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biden, at virtual event as presumptive nominee, suggests Kamala Harris will play a big role in his campaign<br \/>\n<\/strong>At a virtual town hall just hours after Bernie Sanders dropped out of the presidential race, Joe Biden suggested that one-time rival Kamala Harris may play a big role in his campaign going forward. Seemingly teasing the running mate chatter, Biden added: \u201cI\u2019m so lucky to have you be a part of this partnership going forward. Working together, we can make a great deal of progress. &#8230; I\u2019m coming for you, kid.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Bernie Sanders<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Sanders drops out of 2020 Democratic race for President.<\/strong><br \/>\nSenator Bernie Sanders of Vermont ended his presidential candidacy on Wednesday, concluding a quest that elevated him as a standard-bearer of American liberalism and clearing the way for a general election between the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joseph R. Biden Jr., and President Trump at a time of national crisis. In a live-streamed speech, Mr. Sanders, eloquent but without his characteristic spark, cast his decision in the broader context of the fight against the coronavirus. \u201cI cannot in good conscience continue to mount a campaign that cannot win and which would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour,\u201d Mr. Sanders said, adding, \u201cWhile this campaign is coming to an end, our movement is not.\u201d If Mr. Biden, the former vice president, can now lay claim to the Democratic nomination, he still faces considerable challenges in uniting the party and mobilizing a broad base of voters for the November election. Unlike Mr. Sanders, Mr. Biden inspired little enthusiasm among young voters, nor did he develop signature policy proposals. He triumphed because many voters rejected Mr. Sanders\u2019s policy agenda as too far to the left and prohibitively expansive, and were convinced that Mr. Biden had the best chance to beat Mr. Trump in November.<\/p>\n<h4>Sanders drops out, paving way for Biden<\/h4>\n<p>Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is dropping out of the Democratic presidential race, paving the way for former Vice President Joe Biden to win the 2020 nomination. Sanders was unable to build on his early momentum in the race after wins in New Hampshire and Nevada as well as virtual tie in Iowa, going on to lose a string of states to Biden after the former vice president consolidated the support of moderate Democrats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Patricia Soldano<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>President; Family Enterprise USA<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/membership\/\">Family Enterprise USA<\/a> is the organization that represents all family businesses on a national level in DC; it is not unique to any industry.
