Sanders says opposing Biden is 'irresponsible' in new interview
Bernie Sanders said Tuesday that it would be “irresponsible” for his loyalists not to support Joe Biden, warning that progressives who “sit on their hands” in the months ahead would simply enable President Donald Trump's reelection.
He seemed to distance himself from his campaign's former national press secretary, Briahna Joy Gray, when asked about her recent statement on social media refusing to endorse Biden. He continued: “I believe that it’s irresponsible for anybody to say, ‘Well, I disagree with Joe Biden -- I disagree with Joe Biden! -- and therefore I’m not going to be involved.’”
“If people want to vote for me, we’d appreciate it," Sanders said of the roughly 20 primary contests that remain where his name will appear on the ballot. He later added,"I think you’re going to see significant movement on the part of the Biden campaign into a more progressive direction on a whole lot of issues.”
