Bernie Sanders Makes Powerful Argument For Biden's Reelection

On Face The Nation yesterday, Sen. Bernie Sanders told Robert Costa that Biden has his full support.

"President Biden can clearly defeat Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in the history of this country. And the choice is quite clear. You got in Trump somebody wants to take away a woman's right to control her body, who thinks that climate change is a hoax, and who has turned his back on the working class of this country," he said.

"And on the other side, you have Joe Biden, first president in American history to walk a picket line; we have put more money into fighting climate change than any time in the history of this country; we're rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure.

"But this I do want to say and where I am critical of the Biden campaign: it's one thing to talk about your record over the last three-and-a-half years, which is a strong record, but the American people are hurting. Sixty percent of our people living paycheck to paycheck. Twenty five percent of elderly people are trying to get by on $15,000 a year or less. The American people want an agenda for the next four years that speaks to the needs of the working class of this country.

"So frankly, I don't think the President has brought that agenda forward. He has got to say, 'I am prepared to take on corporate greed, massive income and wealth inequality and stand with the working class in this country.' He does that, he's going to win, and win big."

Sanders has been on the campign trail for Biden.
