During a recent interview, Sen. Bernie Sanders shared his thoughts on President Biden potentially pardoning his son, Hunter Biden. Sanders acknowledged the protective instinct a father would have in such a situation, but also expressed concerns about the precedent such a pardon could set for future presidents. Despite this, Sanders commended Biden for his progressive stance on domestic policies, stating that he leaves a strong legacy in that regard.
One area where Sanders hopes to see progress is in the minimum wage. He emphasized the need to raise the current minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, which has remained unchanged since 2009. Sanders highlighted the struggles faced by millions of Americans working for what he described as 'starvation wages,' unable to afford basic necessities like housing and adequate food for their families.
