Bernie Sanders endorsed Joe Biden during a joint livestream Monday, saying that Americans of all political affiliations should back the former U.S. vice president.

“Today I’m asking all Americans, I’m asking every Democrat, I’m asking every independent, I’m asking a lot of Republicans to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy,” Sanders said as Biden bowed his head on a split screen.

The surprise announcement came less than a week after Sanders dropped out of the U.S. presidential race and didn’t quite endorse the Democratic front-runner. At the time he said he would continue to collect delegates toward the nomination so that he could influence policy at the convention later this summer.
Monday, Sanders and Biden announced they were creating joint task forces of their staffs to work together on shared policy areas, including on the economy, education, climate change and criminal justice. Sanders’s continued popularity is edging Biden slightly to the left in his policy stances. Biden has endorsed some of Sanders’s ideas.

Sanders’s endorsement of Biden is a stark contrast to his 2016 campaign against Hillary Clinton. Sanders did not endorse Clinton until July, just before the Democratic National Convention and weeks after Clinton became the presumptive Democratic nominee.


Biden has amassed a nearly insurmountable lead in delegates.

Sanders announced his support during a livestream with the former vice president about the economic response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“We need you in the White House,” Sanders said to Biden.
