Biden: I Did Give Serious Consideration to Nominate Sanders for Labor Sec., But We Agreed He Must Stay in the Senate After Ga. Results

‘Bernie said we cannot put control of the Senate at risk in the outcome of a special election in Vermont’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "But I also want to say I did give serious consideration to nominate my friend Bernie Sanders to this position. I am confident he could have done -- he could have a fantastic job. I could think of no more passionate devoted ally to working people in this country. But after Tuesday’s results in Georgia, giving Democratic control of the United States Senate and a tie vote, Bernie and I agreed. As a matter of fact, Bernie said we cannot put control of the Senate at risk in the outcome of a special election in Vermont.”
