Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) warned Democratic voters that nominating a democratic socialist would make it hard to win not just the presidency but down-ballot elections as well.
In an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” Biden said nominating about a progressive candidate — such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) — for president would make it harder for Democrats to win elections across the board.
“Bernie calls himself a Democratic socialist. Now you’ve been around, George, as much as anybody. You going to win with that label? You going to help somebody in Florida win? With the label democratic socialist? Cause it’s going to go all the way down the line.”
