Bernie Sanders: ‘If You Want to Move Working Families Forward ... Biden Is by Far the Preferable Candidate’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: “Well, what I would say is we have an immigration issue. We’ve got to deal with it. Biden Administration is attempting to deal with it. But at the end of the day, if you want to have an economy in which we have health care for all, when we’re moving toward healthcare for all, when we take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry, where your kids can get student debt relief, where we’re addressing the crisis of climate change and creating good-paying jobs as we do that. Give you just one example, in Ohio — Lordstown, Ohio — this was a plant that years ago, workers there earned good wages, plant was shut down. It was reopened, wages were terrible. With President Biden’s support and the good work of the UAW, that plant in Lordstown, they just finished the contract negotiation. Workers there are back to earning very, very good wages. So I would say to working people, look, you’ll have differences with Biden on this or that issue. I have strong differences with the president on this or that issue. But at the end of the day, if you want to move working families forward, I think the choice is clear, and Biden is by far the preferable candidate.”
