The New York Times’ editorial board has joined with other media outlets in declaring Bernie Sanders’ campaign a lost cause, and the newspaper is already laying the groundwork to woo the Vermont senator’s supporters over to Hillary Clinton, who they endorsed in January.

“[T]he plunge in Mr. Sanders’s latest fund­raising numbers makes clear what he doesn’t yet want to say. His campaign — for the presidency, anyway — is most likely nearing its end,” the Times editorial board said Tuesday. It said the senator’s recent tone on the campaign trail suggests he, too, realizes he can’t beat Clinton.
