Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday touted President Biden’s accomplishments and stressed his confidence in the president’s ability to win reelection, as long as he runs on a strong progressive platform.
In an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” Sanders stressed what he saw as the importance of running on a “strong” and “progressive agenda” and said if Democrats do so, it could guarantee that wing of the party will back Biden.
Sanders touted raising Social Security benefits, expanding Medicare and dealing with student debt as areas of priorities for his wing of the party.
“If we come up with a progressive agenda, I think we’re going to win and win big and when we win big, we have to make it clear that we stand with the working class of this country against the kind of corporate greed that we now see,” Sanders said.
On whether Sanders would consider a 2024 presidential run, if, for any reason, Biden decided not to seek or win the nomination, Sanders declined to answer the question directly.
“Well, I think we spend too much time speculating,” he said in response. “I think President Biden is going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party. And I think if he runs on a strong, progressive agenda, he’s not only going to win, he’s going to win by a strong vote, and I’ll tell you why.”

More proof!
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Legislatures can’t do worse!;
He’s pretty much to blame with the craziness of the democrats. His demand they go left has been a disaster for the country.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment should apply to this clown. He gave aid and comfort to our enemy by traveling to the Soviet Union and criticizing the United States while there. He has no business being a U.S. Senator.
when you accomplish stealing a presidential election the skys the limit
Biden’s accomplishments and stressed his confidence in the president’s ability.
Sanders mind is on the fritz now too.
Hey they have the other fossil who is inarticulate and another lying Commie . Leaky Leahy— kicked out of every national security committee because he is a traitor. That one too— the repubs ran a “dumb” farmer... no way prepared to deal with Leahy’s crapola.
Bernie's an old Socialists Worker's Party guy - - and the real answer to the 'why' is not as nice as he states...
The Democrats and “corporate greed” are like a horse and carriage.
Sanders is a classic example of the grift.
Biden and the DNC had to pay off ole’ bribin’ Bernie to stay out of the race. Probably got another vacation home for it.
He's right. Only it's what the Democrats plan for all the illegals here.
