Amid growing calls for Joe Biden to step out of the Presidential race, Bernie Sanders on Sunday outlined several conditions for endorsing the US President in the upcoming elections in November.
In a statement, Sanders emphasized the necessity for a robust agenda that prioritizes the well-being of working families rather than solely catering to affluent campaign donors.”The American people want change. It will either be the change of Trump’s reactionary and xenophobic policies, or change that benefits working families,” he asserted.
Sanders, who enjoys significant support among the youth and working-class individuals, wields considerable influence within the Democratic party. He stressed that Biden and the Democrats have the potential to secure victory in the election by addressing the concerns of the working class.
The senator’s statement comes at a critical juncture, as the Biden campaign faces challenges following the president’s subpar showing during the June 27 debate against his Republican opponent, Trump.
Sanders outlined specific measures that he believes are crucial for the Biden campaign to adopt. These include confronting corporate greed and income inequality, increasing the minimum wage, expanding Medicare coverage, reducing childhood poverty through a permanent child tax credit, ensuring that the wealthy contribute their fair share to Social Security, canceling medical debt, and constructing affordable housing for low-income individuals.
It is worth noting that during the 2020 presidential election, Sanders and the Biden campaign had entered into a memorandum of understanding. Following the agreement, Sanders actively campaigned for Biden, contributing significantly to his victory in November 2020.
In an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sanders acknowledged Biden’s age but emphasized the importance of focusing on policies that benefit the majority of the population.
He highlighted Biden’s stance on issues such as taking on corporate America, expanding Medicare, raising Social Security benefits, implementing a permanent child tax credit, and supporting the elderly, children, working class, and the poor.
