NEW:"The overwhelming majority of progressives understand that it is absolutely imperative that Donald Trump be defeated," Sanders tells @GStephanopoulos when asked about about disappointment about a Biden-Harris ticket in the Party's progressive wing. https://t.co/2q9VGegS3T pic.twitter.com/kTpdZXZ7zl
The senator first pointed to election victories as evidence that"the progressive movement has been making enormous progress" -- the party's left wing has scored several congressional primary victories this year, including upsets of formerly entrenched incumbent Democrats, like Reps. William Lacy Clay in Missouri and Eliot Engel in New York, by progressives Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, respectively. But he also pointed to growing support for a number of progressive policy proposals.
Sanders said his message to those who may be disappointed was that they would"continue to fight for Medicare for All," even after a Biden election. Story continues Asked if Sen. Kamala Harris, who backed Medicare-for-all, will be in ally in the fight, Sen. Bernie Sanders tells @GStephanopoulos that Harris is"incredibly smart, incredibly tough ... I think she's an asset for the Biden campaign." https://t.co/2q9VGegS3T pic.twitter.com/eVaAiar42R
The senator further described himself as"deeply concerned" over comments from Trump connecting his opposition to Postal Service funding and vote-by-mail expansion, saying that the president is attempting to"undermine American democracy."
