Bernie Sanders makes a play for Biden Labor secretary

” to make recommendations on everything from health care to climate change, and taking the stage at the Democratic National Convention to urge progressives to back the former vice president.

Through this collaboration, Shakir said, Sanders has been able to influence both policy and personnel discussions underway among Biden transition's staff. The news of Sanders’ interest in the job is certain to cheer the Democratic left, which has been pushing for progressives to take senior roles in a potential Biden administration.Having Sanders in a senior post could also help balance out any consternation over more moderate picks — or evenSanders could find support from the labor movement as well, where union officials expect to have some influence over Biden’s pick to lead the DOL.

“Obviously, he’s earned a lot of trust from working people across the country over the past many years,” one union official said.

The guy who has never held a real job, has been a career politician, is going to be the Labor secretary? 🤣😂🤣😂

They don’t even Hide it .... Communist berniesanders and all his crew will be the ones in Power ... voteredtosaveamerica votetrump votenov3

That’s rich coming from a guy who never worked a day in his life

Bernie been kinda ABSENT LATELY?

He needs a voice at the table

God help us...a guy who's never signed a paycheck.

Bernie's earned the right to whatever cabinet position he wants in a Biden Administration.

A potentially good candidate for that position IMHO.

He’d be the perfect pick

Great, but he needs to disavow these crazy accounts that attack Joe Biden.

Hope he’s in charge of healthcare. 🤞🙏

WE can tell when all the evils pull together as one

No way. 💩💩💩

Hope so. Bernie Sanders would be excellent as labor leader.

I’m good with it. Who’s the next dem up in Vermont?

Vermont has a Republican governor. I don't see how this happens without an arrangement.

No way. It gonna happen.

Politico never fails to publish clickbait at just the time it'll get them the most hits.

sure why not

Hmmm, should it be Labor or Health? BernieSanders

I'd prefer to see Sherrod Brown in that post but unfortunately we can't afford to lose his Senate seat to an appointment by DeWine.

Gross.

He should be the advisor to a younger labor secretary.

Labor Secretary? Wow that's precious. This stiff hasn't worked a day in his life. What's he gonna preach how to sit on your ass and get paid?

This would be great for him

God help us all

Shit in one hand, wish in the other

That would be beyond disastrous. He turns 80 in 2021 so he's probably too old be in the administration unless it's Sr. Citizen's Czar.

Rule of the gerontocracy!

Yes!

Vermont governor is a Republican, will replace him with a Republican. Bernie should not do this.

All the more reason to vote for realDonaldTrump

LOL Communist :)

No thanks

I hope he has a leading role in the next admin. Tho I don’t always agree with him, he has some great ideas

The man who has never had a job....

thats all we need a president that is old and has demintia and a labor secretary who is old and off his rocker. Then there is kamala the darling of the liberals who will do anyone and anything to get ahead.

one commie is just good as next communist's rat

Biden has to win first...let’s stay focused.

I have nothing against Bernie but we need fresh and young blood to deal with the issues that old timers have not been able to fix.

He'd make a good labor secretary!!

This socialist needs to retire-he's fed off that taxpayer dole for long enough.

I hope he gets that position!

Minister of job loss

Lol.

yes PLEASE

He’s has not even been mentioned by Biden except to be used as a pandering technique.
