Description
It’s a new convention, but much of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ messaging is the same he’s been delivering for several political cycles.
A one-time Democratic challenger to both Biden and Harris, Sanders appeared on the DNC stage Tuesday to chants of his name by convention goers.
In his 2016 presidential campaign, Sanders often ranted against billionaires and promised that he’d aim to implement policies that would somewhat even out the economy, a message he returned to in his remarks.
The Vermont progressive laid out a series of liberal policy goals for the party if Harris were to win the president and Democrats control Congress next year. The list included expanding Medicare and raising the national minimum wage.
“I look forward to working with Kamala and Tim to pass this agenda,” Sanders said. “And let’s be clear. This is not a radical agenda.”
Sanders also added his name to the small number of DNC speakers thus far who have made mention of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
"Abroad, we must end this horrific war in Gaza, bring home the hostages, and demand an immediate ceasefire," Sanders said to a roaring applause from the crowd.
