Bernie Sanders wrote an op-ed in the New York Times urging Democrats to stop criticizing Joe Biden and instead support him against Donald Trump in the presidential election. The 82-year-old Senator criticized Democrats engaging in "circular firing squads" and the media for its focus on Biden's health and capabilities. Sanders acknowledged disagreements with Biden on issues like Israel and healthcare but said Biden has accomplished important goals like economic recovery from COVID and climate action. The Senator from Vermont argued the election is about policy accomplishments, not a 90-minute debate, and Biden can appeal to swing state voters on the economy.
