Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that Bernie Sanders does not have a path to the Democratic nomination, though he refrained from calling on the Vermont senator to quit the presidential primary.

Reid, who supports Clinton, said that Sanders will have to find his own way after Tuesday night, with Clinton likely to extend her delegate lead.

"Bernie is a good person, he's a run a campaign that I think we can all recognize has been unique and powerful. And I think Bernie should do what he wants to do," Reid said.

Still, when asked if Sanders can win the nomination, Reid said bluntly: "No. I do not."

"Bernie is going to do what he feels is appropriate. And I have confidence that Bernie, his No. 1 issue is not him, it's the country," Reid said.

Reid has chided Sanders in recent weeks for running a more negative campaign than he intended to — but he waited until after the Nevada caucus before endorsing Clinton to help increase voter registration among Democrats that support Sanders and Clinton.
