Bernie Sanders says Biden is ‘the strongest candidate’ against Trump MSNBC
—
Sen. Bernie Sanders reiterated his support for President Joe Biden to remain at the top of the Democratic ticket on Saturday, writing in a New York Times op-ed that Biden is “the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump.”
Although he and Biden have had strong disagreements on issues like Israel’s war on Hamas and the relative success of the Affordable Care Act, Sanders wrote that the president has a “record of real accomplishment,” as well as a vision that stands in stark contrast to that of Trump.
