Sanders, a USA senator from Vermont, told the Times in an interview he planned to remain in the race despite losing four of five states in primary voting on Tuesday, putting him further behind rival Hillary Clinton.
The move comes one day after Sanders’ latest campaign setback.
“The Trump people chose to endorse me”, he explained, “not because of a promise I made, but because I told them whoever wins the popular vote in the 5th will get my vote until hell freezes over”. It’s not yet clear if financial constraints are motivating his cuts and decision to narrow his focus. A campaign spokesman confirmed the staff changes.
“When I’m one-on-one with Hillary she will be, as I said, easier to take down, much easier to beat than numerous people I’ve already beaten”, Trump told supporters Tuesday.
Trump easily defeated rivals John Kasich and Ted Cruz in all five states that held contests, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and DE, with a margin of victory rivaling that of his home state of NY a week ago.
“We are in this campaign to win, but if we do not win, we intend to win every delegate that we can, so that when we go to Philadelphia in July, we’re going to have the votes to put together the strongest progressive agenda that any political party has ever seen”, Sanders said, per CNN.

The Clinton campaign responded on Wednesday morning with an online video showing footage of the former secretary of state firing back at Trump’s comments on her gender.
Jordan argued that his party’s handling of immigration policy fueled the support for an outsider candidate like Trump, saying, “We disappoint them and they said “enough, ‘We’ve had it” and it’s the one issue that I think started the whole Trump phenomenon”.
But Sanders’ overhead is also very high, with $46 million in expenses in March and outspending Clinton across most major spending categories.
“‘It’s something we’ve been talking about for quite a while now”, Briggs said.

Barring a dramatic turn of events, Clinton has now cleared the way to become the Democratic nominee in the November election, which would make her the first woman in U.S. history to reach that milestone.
