Despite a number of progressive Democrats expressing hesitation about Joe Biden's presidential campaign, Sen. Bernie Sanders attempted to assuage concerns about his liberal base's priorities come November.
On"This Week," Stephanopoulos asked Sanders if, despite his own campaign's disappointment, he would still"declare victory" when he speaks at the convention, given the way in which the party has shifted to the left in the five years since launching his first presidential run.
"Not quite 'all' the issues. Not 'Medicare for All.' And some of your supporters aren't happy about that," Stephanopoulos said, noting two prominent supporters of his presidential campaign, Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., among hundreds of others who have both spoken out on the subject and announced that they will vote against the party platform.
"Well, I believe that Kamala is -- as somebody who has known her for a number of years -- incredibly smart, incredibly tough. And I would not like to be Vice President Pence in a debate with her," the senator responded, without directly answering the question."I think she's an asset for the Biden campaign and I think she's going to do great on the campaign trail."
