Bernie Sanders is still in the presidential race, but acknowledged to C-SPAN's Steve Scully that he's not going to be front and center at the Democratic National Convention.

'It doesn't appear I'm going to be the nominee,' Sanders said in a sit-down with the cable channel, in an interview that was released online today.

The Sanders campaign also announced a Thursday night rally, calling it the 'where we go from here' speech, where the Vermont senator will come face-to-face with supporters in New York City.

All these signs point to Sanders finally shutting the door on his presidential ambitions, as it's been two weeks and two days since his rival Hillary Clinton had enough delegates to clinch the nomination, according to the Associated Press's math.

Sen. Bernie Sanders acknowledged in an interview with C-SPAN that 'it doesn't appear I'm going to be the nominee'

Journalist Steve Scully (left) sat down with Bernie Sanders (right) who announced today that he would be speaking about 'where to go from here' tomorrow before supporters in New York City

Sanders pressed on through election day in California and then in Washington, D.C. Last week he gave a web address to supporters from his hometown of Burlington, Vermont, but he has yet to concede.

Scully got Sanders to admit he wouldn't be the Democratic nominee by asking him his plans for the Democratic National Convention and whether he planned to speak.

'Well, it's hard to say, that is,' Sanders began, before making the admission. 'So I'm not going to be determining the scope of the convention.'

He then mentioned his meeting with Clinton that was held in D.C. last week, where the two long-standing rivals met at the Capital Hilton downtown.

'It was very good,' Sanders said, of the two hour long meet-and-greet.

'I have known Secretary Clinton for 25 years, we served in the Senate together,' Sanders added.

Sanders explained that 'where we are right now, what we are trying to do, which is no secret to anybody' is create the most progressive platform possible at the Democratic National Convention.

'And, secondly, we're trying to do nothing less than transform the Democratic Party,' Sanders said.

Sanders explained that that meant opening up the primaries, reminding the C-SPAN journalist that he had been badly beaten in his home state of New York, where Clinton served as a senator, because independents couldn't cast votes.

C-SPAN's Steve Scully asked Bernie Sanders about his role at the Democratic National Convention, which forced the admission that the Vermont senator knew he wouldn't be the nominee

The Democratic hopeful also said he wanted to rid the Democrats' process of superdelegates, party faithful who also get to cast a vote for a candidate at the convention.

Sanders often talked about how the superdelegates were in the tank for Clinton, with around 400 pledging their support for the former secretary of state before the Vermont senator even announced.

Scully wanted to know why Sanders thought his campaign resonated so much.

His success, Sanders thought, showed 'how far removed the reality much of the media really is.'

The candidate pointed to early news reports on his campaign that suggested there wouldn't be a thirst for his progressive politics, nor would he be able to raise money.

Sanders outraised Clinton on several occasions and thousands upon thousands appeared at his rally.

When Scully showed Sanders some pictures of his crowds, Sanders practically gasped.

'Woah. That is a lot of people,' Sanders said.

'Oh yes, God yes,,' Sanders added, when asked if he got energy from such big crowds. 'It is not just the number, it is looking into the eyes of people who really do want this country to do much, much better,' he said.

Scully also played back to Sanders one of the Vermont senator's most memorable ads, which used the song 'America' by Simon and Garfunkel, along with footage of screaming crowds.

C-SPAN's Steve Scully asked the Vermont senator to explain why his campaign resonated with so many Americans. Sanders replied that it showed that the media is out of touch

'I'm smiling,' he said. 'Because every time I see that ad it gives me tingles and sometimes almost bring tears to my eyes. It's a beautiful ad.'

The senator seemed to sense that his campaign was winding down and could possibly be in its final hours.

Then again Sanders seemed close to a concession speech before and there's no guarantee that's what he plans to deliver tomorrow in New York.

He was confident about one thing – he wouldn't deliver his voters to presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, who made an overture to them earlier today.

When Scully asked Sanders about it, the senator laughed at the idea.

'Well, I suspect he ain't going to get too many of those people,' Sanders said of Trump.
