A strong and welcome endorsement for the American president running for re-election. Senator Bernie Sanders, a figure of the American left, called on Saturday, July 13, to keep Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate for the presidential election, despite the pressure put on the president to withdraw due to doubts about his state of health. “Enough! Mr. Biden may not be the ideal candidate, but he will be the candidate and must be the candidate”writes the 82-year-old elected official in a column published in the New York Times.
“With an effective campaign that speaks to working families about their needs, he will not only beat Mr. Trump, but beat him soundly.”continued Bernie Sanders, who was nevertheless the opponent Joe Biden’s 2020 Democratic primarycalling on Democrats “to stop the bickering and quibbling”. He also claims that he will do “everything that is in [son] power to see President Biden re-elected”.
“Yes. I know this: Mr. Biden is old, gaffe-prone, stiff-footed, and had a disastrous debate with Mr. Trump. But I also know this: A presidential election is not an entertainment contest. It does not begin or end with a 90-minute debate.”he wrote.
In his text, the 82-year-old senator takes the example of the recent French legislative elections, estimating that“It is time to learn a lesson from the progressive and centrist forces in France who, despite their deep political differences, have come together this week to squarely defeat right-wing extremism.”
