U.S. left debates its future after Sanders endorses Biden

Published: April 16, 2020, 10 p.m.

Bernie Sanders this week formally dropped out of the Democratic presidential race and endorsed Joe Biden for president. Elizabeth Warren, who had been uncommitted, did the same thing. The endorsements are a result of a hard push by Democratic National Committee officials to unify the party around Joe Biden, a longtime moderate with a solid pro-war, pro-capitalist record.

Ben Norton, a journalist with the Grayzone and co-host of the Moderate Rebels podcast, joins the show.
