Sanders said on Wednesday that Joe Biden is 'going to have to bring new people into his political world' in order to win over Sanders' supporters.
In his first television interview since dropping out of the Democratic presidential race Wednesday, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders told late-night host Stephen Colbert that former Vice President Joe Biden could pull in supporters from the Sanders camp if he indicated a move towards more progressive politics.
While stopping short of fully endorsing Biden's presidential run, Sanders said he had been in touch with Biden's campaign and hoped to"work with Joe to move him in a more progressive direction." Biden skewed high with voters over the age of 50 during campaign polling while Sanders consistently received higher numbers from younger voters. Sanders said that the needs of the demographic that supported him needed to be addressed by Biden.
Among the issues Sanders encouraged Biden to"be bold" about were the raising of the minimum wage to $15 per hour, making public colleges and universities tuition-free and immigration reform.
