Excerpt:

In an interview, El-Sayed said he decided to formally back Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination because Sanders has been "consistent" on key issues and because of the way he's driven conversations on corruption, economic justice and initiatives like Medicare for All.

"All of those conversations we're having because of Bernie Sanders," El-Sayed said, "because of his courage in 2016, because of his courage in 2020."

"Bernie speaks to the urgency of this moment for people," El-Sayed said.

....in Michigan.

He lost to Getchen Whitmer by 52% to 30%, and she is now Governor of Michigan. One of many Midwestern Democratic candidates endorsed by BS, AOC, and Justice Democrats who lost running against Democrats in primaries. Almost to a candidate, the opponent who beat their candidates went on to win their general election.

....supporting him. NNU has already spent several millions of dollars on Sanders' campaigns.

I wonder why we don't hear about these in debates, stump speeches, or emails.
