Like it or not, liberals are a part of the Democratic coalition. Biden’s recognition that they exist is a step in the right direction. At least Biden seems to understand that pushing Sanders supporters away wasn’t in the longterm best interest of the Hillary Clinton campaign.
“I want to thank Bernie Sanders and his supporters for their tireless energy and their passion,” Biden said. “We share a common goal, and together we’ll defeat Donald Trump. We’ll defeat him together.”
Biden allowed only that his own campaign “is taking off, and I believe we’re going to do well from this point on.”
“Take nothing for granted,” Biden added. “Want to earn every single vote in every single state.”
