"Now there’s one progressive in the race," said a leader of the Working Families Party.
The Working Families Party, an influential progressive organization, endorsed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for president on Monday ahead of another round of critical primary contests.
“When we endorsed Elizabeth Warren, we felt it was important to state the obvious: that there were two progressives in the race and it was actually a good thing that there were two bold progressives in the race arguing for structural change of our democracy and our economy,” Mitchell told HuffPost. “And now there’s one progressive in the race. And we are still committed to that change — the change that we felt Elizabeth Warren’s campaign was presenting a unique case for.
In his interview with HuffPost, Mitchell made a positive case for Sanders’s candidacy, praising the Vermont senator’s cultivation of a multi-racial, working-class coalition with particular “inroads” in the Latino community.
