Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are offering details about their new Unity Task Force and the leaders they have put in place to work with them.
In a press statement released on Wednesday, Biden and Sanders named the co-chairs and members — including former Secretary of State John Kerry (D) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — of their joint effort.
Others include Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), and former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, among others.
The members of the task force are comprised of leaders, officials, and experts who will “explore possible policy initiatives” in six key policy areas: “climate change, criminal justice reform, economy, education, health care, and immigration.”
The announcement comes less than one month after Biden and Sanders noted their commitment to establishing groups to bridge their gap in the key areas.
After suspending his presidential campaign, Sanders vowed to support whoever the Democratic nominee would be while Biden reiterated that they have always had a common vision.
