Vice President Kamala Harris is pulling out all the stops as Election Day fast approaches, first turning to former President Barack Obama, and now enlisting socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders to stump for her.
Sanders, who advocates for what he calls “Democratic Socialism” and was apparently kicked out of a hippie commune for being too lazy, hit up Nevada and Wisconsin to promote Harris. Ironically, the VP is simultaneously trying to distance herself from her radical positions and present as a moderate this cycle.
Over the weekend, Sanders made two stops in Wisconsin to promote the Harris-Walz ticket. The Vermont senator also recently hit up Nevada to campaign for Harris, urging progressives that it’s “imperative that we defeat Trump.”
Though Sanders is certainly far-Left, Harris in 2019 was rated even further Left than Sanders in the Senate. Harris, in fact, was voted the “most liberal” member of the Senate.
Notably, Harris co-sponsored Sanders’ “Medicare for All” bill when she served in the Senate and promoted the plan when she ran for president in 2020. The far-Left legislation would have cost taxpayers $32 trillion over ten years and effectively eliminated private health insurance.
“Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on,” Harris told CNN host Jake Tapper of private health insurance during her 2020 run for the White House.
