As Michigan votes, DemExit trends with Sanders supporters threatening to leave Dem party if Biden wins nomination
The hashtag #DemExit began trending on Twitter across the United States on Tuesday afternoon as supporters of Bernie Sanders threatened to leave the Democratic party if his 2020 rival former Vice President Joe Biden secures the nomination.
Biden made a comeback last week after former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Senator Amy Klobuchar and former Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke dropped out of the Democratic presidential race and endorsed the former vice president's campaign. Since then, Biden has surged ahead of Sanders, drastically changing the shape of the 2020 race. The Vermont senator has spent the past week in defense mode, trying to recapture the momentum he had last month.
