Sanders Reveals What He Thinks Biden Must Do to Defeat Trump

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is weighing in on former Vice President Joe Biden’s (D) presidential race for the White House.

Hours after announcing the suspension of his presidential campaign, Sanders appeared on “The Late Show” with Steven Colbert where he noted the challenges Biden will face going forward.

According to Sanders, the only way he can defeat President Donald Trump is to bridge the gap. The Vermont senator is urging Biden to “bring new people into his political world” and “listen to their needs.”

“I think Joe is a good politician and he understands that in order to defeat the president, in order to defeat Trump, he’s going to have to bring new people into his political world, and he’s going to have to listen to their needs — young people, working people — and maybe start moving in a different direction to some degree than he has in the past.”

Colbert also asked Sanders whether or not he intends to endorse Biden. He made it clear that his stance still aligns with the overall Democratic goal — to do whatever it takes to defeat Trump.

“We’re going to be talking to Joe, and we are, and we’re talking to his team of advisers,” Sanders said.
