Bernie Sanders endorses Biden, rules out 2024 run.
YORK (AP) — Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said Tuesday that he would forgo another presidential bid of his own and instead endorse President Joe Biden's reelection.
The leading progressive, who was Biden's chief rival in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, told The Associated Press that he would “do everything I can to see the president is reelected.”
“The last thing this country needs is a Donald Trump or some other right-wing demagogue who is going to try to undermine American democracy or take away a woman’s right to choose, or not address the crisis of gun violence, or racism, sexism or homophobia,” Sanders said in an interview. “So, I’m in to do what I can to make sure that the president is reelected.”
Biden on Tuesday announced his decision to seek a second term, even as polls suggest that voters in both parties don't want him to run again. The Democratic president will face the winner of the crowded Republican primary, which features former President Donald Trump and a half dozen lower-profile conservatives.
I love you, Bernie!! Too much is at stake for a battle! Thank you and shame on all of you who disparage Bernie Sanders! He loves his country and knows the risks of taking on Biden. He loves our democracy and knows what is the right thing to do. Give props to Bernie who will NOT cause any dissent at the convention.
