Bernie Sanders barked at a CNN reporter after he asked about a time frame in which the senator might decide to suspend his presidential bid.

"I'm dealing with a f---ing global crisis,” the Vermont senator told CNN’s Manu Raju on Wednesday. "Right now I'm trying to do my best to make sure that we don't have an economic meltdown and that people don't die. Is that enough for you to keep me busy for today?"

The Senate cleared a $104 billion federal aid package Wednesday aimed at responding to the coronavirus pandemic.

Sanders’s campaign manager Faiz Shakir said Wednesday that the presidential candidate would be talking to his supporters in the coming weeks and would “assess his campaign.”

"In the immediate term, however, he is focused on the government response to the coronavirus outbreak and ensuring that we take care of working people and the most vulnerable,” Shakir said.

Sanders lost three major primary states — Illinois, Florida, and Arizona — to former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday, giving Biden an insurmountable delegate lead. Biden has 1,147 delegates compared to Sanders’s 861. A candidate needs 1,991 pledged delegates to win the Democratic presidential nomination.
