As poll after poll finds Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump, a new report by The Washington Post says one of his former primary contenders is privately nervous about the former vice president’s chances of winning the election.
However, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says he does not have doubts about Biden’s prospects for winning in November. During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday, Sanders was asked if the report was true.
“No, of course, they’re not true,” Sanders said, adding, “What I have said privately is what I have said publicly. And that is, I think Biden is in an excellent position to win this election.”
He continued, “But, I think we have got to do more as a campaign than just go after Trump. Trump is a disaster, I think most people know it, but we also have to give people a reason to vote for Joe Biden.”
Sanders said the campaign should focus more on Biden’s vision for the economy. Additionally, he said voters want to hear more from Biden about healthcare and climate change.
