Sanders endorses Biden for US Presidential campaign

We need you in the White House. I will do all that I can to see that that happens, Joe,” Sanders told Biden during the former vice president’s virtual event on the coronavirus.

“Today, I am asking all Americans — I’m asking every Democrat, I’m asking every independent, I’m asking a lot of Republicans — to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy, which I endorse,” Sanders added.

The endorsement, which comes less than a week after Sanders suspended his own White House bid, marks an attempt to unify the progressive and moderate wings of the Democratic Party. The move is also aimed at quelling concerns that the party won’t be able to come together ahead of the general election in November.

Sanders did not endorse the 2016 Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, until roughly two weeks before the party’s convention in July.
