The senator called for unity among progressives because "we cannot have four more years of Donald Trump in the White House."

With the 2024 presidential race beginning to unfold, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he believes that President Joe Biden will again earn the Democratic nomination — and the president likely win reelection if he runs on a strong progressive campaign.

“I think at this moment … we have got to bring the progressive community together to say, you know what, we’re going to fight for a progressive agenda but we cannot have four more years of Donald Trump in the White House,” Sanders said Sunday on “Face the Nation.”

…

Sanders endorsed Mr. Biden in April. Sanders referenced several of those issues in underscoring what he believes is the importance of building “a strong progressive agenda” to win the presidency in 2024.

    Currently I am actually concerned if Biden makes it through the election healthwise. He looks very brittle and if the incumbent president bonus wasn’t direly needed, I would advocate for someone else to get there.

    But I am actually afraid of him dying or getting too sick during the campaign circus phase and Trump will win again. I don’t trust the American people at all.

      I guess you’re right… The only option is to vote for the 80 year old, 300 (215?) lb guy who can’t even make it up a ramp

      And before you come in with “I’m just saying there could be better options!” there’s not, so suck it up and quit with the fear mongering (if you’re actually an American)

        Stop twisting my words. I said no such thing as to vote for the other fossil. The issue is that the cultists will vote for Trump even if he was a corpse on a chair.

        if you’re actually an American

        That’s also weird. I never even pretended to be. In fact, I am not. But the election outcome usually has an impact on the rest of the world too, and 4 years of Trump was not a pleasure even outside of America, I can tell you that.

        Right? We have a VP for these reasons. Biden has Harris and Trump will have one of those young clones from Brazil as a back-up.

        I do not love Kamala Harris, she’s a grinning drug warrior, but the heads exploding as we swear in a woman of color would be pretty cool. The global Bosses have decided that we get to choose among evils this race and the Biden-Harris team is significantly less evil.

        Bernie is not an idiot. He knows that at this moment holding the line is better for progress than what we will lose if we do not.
