Bernie Sanders says he's not worried about splitting the progressive vote with Elizabeth Warren via hunterw
NEW YORK — In an interview with Yahoo News last Thursday, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., brushed off the possibility that he and Sen. Elizabeth Warren could split the progressive vote, creating an easy path for former Vice President Joe Biden to win the Democratic presidential primary.
Biden has far more moderate positions, including a health care plan that would preserve private insurance and more modest spending to address climate change. And while Biden has called for increased education spending, unlike Warren and Sanders, he hasn’t backed plans to make public colleges fully tuition free and to eliminate large amounts of student debt. Sanders has said Biden doesn’t share his “vision” for the country.
When asked about the distinctions between the two, Sanders emphasized his record and role in pushing the Democratic Party to the left since his last run for president in 2016. Sanders said he’s pleased other candidates are supporting aspects of his agenda, including universal health care, free public education and aggressive steps to fight climate change.
