Bernie Sanders' campaign is laying off more than 200 workers, campaign manager Jeff Weaver said Wednesday.
The campaign is downsizing from its current 550-member
team to between 325 to 350 workers, said Weaver, who added that at one
point the Sanders' staff numbered more than 1,000.
The decision follows a bad night for Sanders, in which he lost four out of five East Coast states that voted on Tuesday.
"The calendar is coming closer to the end and
there are not that many states going forward ... it's the natural
evolution of every campaign," Weaver told CNN.
Sanders announced the layoffs in an interview with The New York Times.
"It will be hundreds of staff members," Sanders
told the Times. "We have had a very large staff, which was designed to
deal with 50 states in this country; 40 of the states are now behind us.
So we have had a great staff, great people."
