As labor unions, advocacy groups, and progressive lawmakers rallied around Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday, Sen. Bernie Sanders held off on formally endorsing her for the 2024 Democratic nomination, saying he wants to ensure she will pursue an ambitious agenda that prioritizes the needs of the country's working class.
'Sanders' interviews came shortly before Harris secured the backing of enough Democratic delegates to win the party's presidential nomination, less than two days after Biden dropped out of the race. The Democratic National Committee's rules panel is set to meet Wednesday to schedule a date for a virtual roll call vote that would cement Harris' spot at the top of the party's ticket before the convention in Chicago next month.
