„This is a consequential campaign,“ Sanders stressed during an interview with Anderson Cooper.
In Monday’s interview on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) offered his perspective on the sudden shift in the Democratic presidential race, criticizing media pressure on President Joe Biden while holding off on an immediate endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Sanders, who had previously supported Biden’s reelection bid, expressed concern about the media’s role in pushing the President out of the race. The Vermont senator’s hesitation to immediately endorse Harris stands in contrast to the wave of support she has received from within the Democratic Party.
„Vice President Harris has now been endorsed by at least 41 Democratic senators, 186 Democratic representatives, and 23 Democratic governors“, Cooper noted during the interview. However, Sanders indicated that he needs more time before making a formal endorsement.
Newsweek contacted Sanders‘ press team via email on Monday for comment.
When pressed about what it would take for him to endorse the Vice President, Sanders emphasized the importance of the upcoming campaign, highlighting critical issues such as climate change and economic rights.
