Sen. Bernie Sanders says he is forgoing another presidential bid of his own and endorsing President Joe Biden’s reelection. The leading progressive was Biden’s chief rival in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. He told The Associated Press on Tuesday shortly after Biden's reelection announcement that he would “do everything I can to see the president is reelected.” He says Democrats should unite behind Biden to prevent “a Donald Trump or some other right-wing demagogue” from seizing the White House. He also discouraged any other high-profile progressive candidate from running against Biden.
idk he could've just not endorsed him. i'm not sure what he gets out of doing it.
He gains 0.1% approval with the people who are still reliving the 2016 primaries every day
He gets to keep his :bernie-pout: where he doesn't do anything but say the obvious. Such a powerful senate seat and he refuses to use the bully pulpit
