Bernie Sanders urges Dems to ‘stop the bickering' and back Biden ========== Bernie Sanders urges Democrats to support President Joe Biden and stop calling for his withdrawal from the race. Sanders criticized Democrats who have been concerned about Biden's health and called for a new nominee to compete against former President Donald Trump. Sanders wrote an op-ed in The New York Times, stating that while Biden may not be the ideal candidate, he should be supported and with an effective campaign, he can defeat Trump. Sanders also criticized the media for focusing obsessively on Biden's cognitive capabilities. Biden has rejected calls for his withdrawal and has received support from key Democratic groups and allies. Sanders, despite his policy disagreements with Biden, will do all he can to see that Biden is re-elected because he believes Biden is the most effective president in the modern history of the country and the strongest candidate to defeat Trump. Sanders highlighted Biden's efforts to rebuild the U.S. economy, investments in infrastructure and climate change-related projects, and other accomplishments. He contrasted Biden with Trump, who he said wants to cut taxes for the billionaire class and let corporations exploit workers and consumers. Sanders emphasized that for the sake of future generations, Biden must win the November election. #BernieSanders #Democrats #JoeBiden #DonaldTrump #2024UsPresidentialElection https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/13/bernie-sanders-urges-dems-to-stop-the-bickering-and-back-biden.html
