Joe Biden Lets The Cat Out Of The Bag: Bernie Sanders To Endorse Hillary Clinton

Last updated on September 25th, 2023 at 02:03 pm

In an interview with NPR, VP Biden said that he spoke to Sen. Bernie Sanders, who told him that he would endorse Hillary Clinton.

Here’s the news, according to Biden:


Michael Briggs, Sen. Sanders’ spokesman, would not confirm or deny, Biden’s claim, “We are in the process of talking.”

It is not a matter of if Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton, but when.

Sen. Sanders has been dodging questions about endorsing Clinton for weeks while inching closer to an endorsement. Sen. Sanders is in a unique position. His campaign was funded by millions of small donors and the Senator from Vermont feels an obligation to make sure that their interests are represented within the Democratic Party.

The draft of the party’s platform that accepted the vast majority of Sanders’ policy positions was a big step forward towards this goal. Sen. Sanders might save his endorsement for a dramatic speech at the Democratic convention, or he may endorse before the convention. Either way, it will be big.

No one should undervalue what the Sanders endorsement will mean for the Clinton campaign. Hillary Clinton could see her lead go from upper single digits to solidly double digits over Trump after an endorsement from Bernie Sanders. Sen. Sanders could provide more fuel to Hillary Clinton get over the top, and if a majority of his supporters join the Democratic cause, they could turn the 2016 election into a big blue rout of Donald Trump.
