After taking a beating in Tuesdayâs primaries, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was nowhere to be seen when it came to his Facebook advertisements.
Sandersâ Facebook advertisements appeared to not be active, including on Instagram, as The Daily Beast reporter Lachlan Markay noted on Twitter on Wednesday. There are more than 50,000 inactive advertisements from Sanders on Facebookâs platforms.
In comparison, former Vice President Joe Biden has about 410 advertisements active currently and President Donald Trump has roughly 2,100 advertisements active across Facebookâs platforms.

This comes after Biden grabbed ahold of all three states â Florida, Illinois, and Arizona â during Tuesdayâs primaries, continuing his lead in the delegate count.
Following Bidenâs sweeping victories, Sanders faced some increased pressure to drop from the presidential race, including from former Rep. Bakari Sellers (D-S.C.), who tweeted, âWe should proceed to the mission at hand, beating Trump. We donât have time to waste.â
The former vice president also delivered a message on Tuesday night, where he directed a part to Sandersâ supporters: âSo let me say especially to the young voters who have been inspired by Senator Sanders: I hear you. I know whatâs at stake. I know what we have to do.â
On Wednesday morning, Sandersâ campaign detailed that they were âassessingâ the senatorâs campaign in the Democratic primary, as IJR reported.
âThe next primary contest is three weeks away,â Sandersâ campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in the statement. âSen. Sanders is going to be having conversations with his supporters to assess his campaign.â
