(PatriotNewsDaily.com) – Senator Bernie Sanders has not officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee, though he is actively engaging in shaping her campaign and potential agenda. While Senator Sanders is not planning to run against Harris, his focus remains on influencing her campaign to address key issues that affect the majority of Americans, especially those living paycheck to paycheck or below the poverty line.

Sanders, a key figure in the Senate Democratic leadership, has stressed the importance of addressing economic justice and the needs of working-class voters in pivotal states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. His influence is seen as potentially vital in rallying young voters and progressives, who may be crucial for a Democratic victory.

Despite his lack of a formal endorsement, Sanders is pushing for Harris to embrace progressive policies such as lowering healthcare costs and expanding Medicare. His efforts include a historical push for a $6 trillion budget that includes extensive healthcare reforms during his time as the chair of the Senate Budget Committee.

On the other hand, other Democratic figures, like Senator Elizabeth Warren, have strongly backed Harris, highlighting her commitment to economic justice from her days as California’s Attorney General. Warren highlights Harris’s consistent fight against corporate malpractices affecting Americans, particularly in areas like student loans and housing.

As the election approaches, the degree of Sanders’ support for Harris will likely hinge on her willingness to adopt and promote the progressive economic policies he champions. This dynamic emphasizes a broader debate within the Democratic Party about the best strategies and policies to unite their diverse voter base and effectively challenge Republican candidates in the upcoming elections.
