A defiant Sen. Bernie Sanders promised Wednesday to hammer Democratic front-runner Joe Biden over key progressive issues at Sunday’s head-to-head debate, even as Sanders admitted that a slew of primary losses has left his campaign on the ropes.
“I very much look forward to the debate in Arizona with my friend Joe Biden,” said Sanders about the forum slated for Phoenix — before detailing his promise to whack at the suddenly surging Biden on a checklist of Bernie’s progressive priorities.
The Vermont lawmaker and self-described democratic socialist detailed his plan to debate Biden on health care, poverty, climate change, mass incarceration and reforming the criminal-justice system, saying “a strong majority of the American people support our progressive agenda.” (Text courtesy NYPost)
