During a rally in Portland, Maine, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont expressed his support for Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States. Sanders, known for his progressive stance, emphasized the importance of not only defeating Donald Trump but also electing Harris to the presidency.
While Sanders has not formally endorsed Harris in the past, he indicated his intention to do so after stating that he wanted to have a conversation with her. He highlighted the need for the progressive movement to actively engage in campaigning for Harris through various means such as door-to-door outreach, phone calls, and social media.
At the rally, Sanders underscored the significance of addressing issues related to income inequality and the influence of big money interests in politics. He suggested that Harris's campaign should focus on championing the needs of the working class and challenging the power of wealthy entities.
Sanders' remarks come at a crucial time in the lead-up to the presidential election, as Harris continues to garner support and build momentum in her bid for the presidency. The senator's endorsement could potentially boost Harris's campaign and further solidify her standing within the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
