Sanders pushes back against Biden's claim he's the 'most progressive' candidate in the Dem field
Sen. Bernie Sanders pushed back against former Vice President Joe Biden's claim that he has "the most progressive record" of any candidate in the Democratic presidential field, citing Biden's votes as a member of the U.S. Senate as evidence that his views were not always in line with the nation's liberals.
Sen. Bernie Sanders compares his voting record former to VP Joe Biden’s in an exclusive interview with @ABC’s @jonkarl: “I don’t think there’s much question about who’s more progressive.” One area where Sanders and Biden will have a clear difference is on the issue of health care. Sanders has advocated for a transition to a Medicare-for-all plan that would eventually eliminate private insurance for basic health care, while Biden has called for improvements to the Affordable Care Act, and providing a public option for individuals to buy into Medicare while keeping the private insurance system.
"I think Elizabeth Warren is a very good senator," Sanders said on"This Week," adding,"She is a friend of mine. She's a serious candidate. She's a good candidate. We have differences; we agree on a lot of things. We’ll let the voters sort it out." On"This Week," Sanders drew the connection between his 2016 platform and the goals currently being pursued in Washington.
