NSTworld: Former WhiteHouse candidate BernieSanders on Monday endorsed onetime rival JoeBiden for president, saying it was time to unite in the effort to defeat DonaldTrump.

The two veteran politicians, who each spent the past year battling for the Democratic nomination, appeared together by split-screen on Biden’s livecast.

The 78-year-old independent leftist senator from Vermont exited the 2020 race last week after losing almost all of the primary contests following a strong start, leaving Biden as the party’s presumptive nominee. Biden said he was “deeply grateful” for the endorsement – one of many that have come from former campaign rivals including Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Amy Klobuchar and former congressman Beto O’Rourke.“You’ve put the interests of this nation and the need to beat Donald Trump above all else,” Biden added.Biden, who at 77 is mounting his third presidential run, also appealed to Sanders supporters.

Trump’s re-election campaign said in a statement that Biden has “had to adopt most of Bernie’s agenda” – policies that Trump has branded socialist.
