Sen. Bernie Sanders held off on formally endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination, urging her to put forth an agenda that prioritizes the needs of the nation's working class.
Sanders, who competed against both Harris and Biden in the 2020 Democratic primary, said in Monday’s interview that he wants Harris to make clear that “it is not acceptable that 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck while the billionaire class has never, ever had it so good.”
“It’s not acceptable,” Sanders continued, “that we’ve got millions of seniors who can’t afford dental care, hearing aids, eyeglasses, that we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country on Earth, and almost all of the new wealth and income is going to the people on top.”
While the facts have worsened over the years, Bernie really has never changed. I credit him with Biden moving to the left in his presidency and I’m excited to see him work with Harris.

I hear Bernie’s voice and cadence when reading the quote.
I always imagine his little orchestra-conducting hand movements.
