Bernie Sanders Backs Biden's Candidacy

Bernie Sanders, an independent senator, has endorsed Joe Biden's presidential campaign, acknowledging that he is not the ideal candidate but believes he will be the best choice to defeat Donald Trump. In a New York Times column, Sanders wrote "Enough! Mr. Biden may not be the ideal candidate, but he will be the candidate" and expressed his disagreement with Biden on issues such as U.S. support for Israel. This endorsement comes amid growing calls for Biden to step aside due to concerns about his ability to beat Trump in the 2020 election. Sanders joins fellow progressive figure Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in supporting Biden's candidacy, despite their differences on certain issues.
