Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris following President Joe Biden's decision not to seek reelection. Sanders stated that he has spoken with Harris and is confident that he will endorse her in the upcoming campaign.
Sanders emphasized the importance of electing Harris, particularly in addressing critical issues such as climate change and economic rights. He highlighted the need for Washington, DC, to better understand and address the concerns of the American people who often feel ignored and insulted by the political establishment.
While Sanders has not officially endorsed Harris yet, he acknowledged that he believes she has the potential to become the next president of the United States. He described the upcoming campaign as 'brutal' in response to recent controversial remarks made by GOP Rep. Tim Burchett about Harris being a 'DEI hire,' a comment that was condemned as racist and offensive.
Despite keeping the details of his conversations with Harris private, Sanders reiterated his confidence in her ability to lead the country and win the election decisively. He urged a focus on addressing the pressing challenges faced by working families across the nation to secure a victory for Harris.
