AOC and other Bernie Sanders allies are helping shape policy for Joe Biden.
WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders announced Wednesday the members of committees that will join forces to shape policy and initiatives ahead of the Democratic convention.
Members of the groups include prominent Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Pramila Jayapal and former Secretary of State John Kerry. The groups will focus on creating initiatives addressing climate change, criminal justice reform, the economy, education, health care and immigration. Members include more moderate Democrats in line with Biden's policy stances and leading progressives who share many of the same views as Sanders.
The groups will meet ahead of the Democratic National Convention starting August 17 to make recommendations on policies for the DNC Platform Committee and to Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee.
'A united party is key to defeating Donald Trump this November and moving our country forward through an unprecedented crisis," Biden said in a statement. "The work of the task forces will be essential to identifying ways to build on our progress and not simply turn the clock back to a time before Donald Trump, but transform our country.“
