Jul 13, 2024, 05:52 PM

Senator Bernie Sanders has publicly urged Democrats to rally behind President Joe Biden's candidacy in a forceful op-ed published in the New York Times. Sanders emphasized that while Biden may not be the ideal candidate, he is the necessary choice for the party. He called on Democrats to cease their internal disputes and unite in support of Biden to ensure a victory over former President Donald Trump. Sanders highlighted the importance of an effective campaign that addresses the needs of working families, asserting that such a strategy would lead to a decisive win against Trump. This call for unity comes in response to recent criticisms, including those from actor George Clooney, who suggested Biden should withdraw from the race. Sanders also stressed the need to stop the bickering and nit-picking for the sake of future generations.
