Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Sanders, who cemented his status as the leader of the progressive movement by challenging Hillary Clinton and then Biden for the presidential nomination, has since emerged as an establishment ally. He, along with “Squad” Democrats including progressive icon, have resisted calls for the president to drop out of the 2024 race following a disastrous debate performance that fueled concerns over his mental fitness.
Sanders has not fully embraced the president as he faces a crisis of confidence within his party. Asked if Biden should remain the Democratic nominee, Sanders merely stated, “The president is the nominee, as I understand it.” Progressives have been one of the core constituencies standing with Biden in the two weeks since he delivered a sluggish debate performance in which he often lost his train of thought. He also has the support of leaders in the black and Hispanic caucuses.
The media portrayal of each public appearance by Biden as a high-stakes moment for his fledgling candidacy suggests the “question of aging capacity simply won’t go away,” Welch told reporters. “It is a contest of who stands with the vast majority of the people in this country, the elderly, the children, working class, the poor,” he said on CBS News Sunday. “And that candidate is obviously Joe Biden.”
