This decision comes after two failed presidential bids over the last decade.

At the time, Sanders was considered to be one of Biden\u2019s top rivals but ultimately decided to forgo the nomination to ensure a victory against then-President Donald Trump \u2014 a strategy he seems to be taking up once again. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last thing this country needs is a Donald Trump or some other right-wing demagogue who is going to try to undermine American democracy or take away a woman\u2019s right to choose, or not address the crisis of gun violence, or racism, sexism or homophobia,\u201d <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/bernie-sanders-biden-endorsement-2024-d8f0772b117e2bf83e1062708ea651c0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanders told<\/a> the <i>Associated Press<\/i>. \u201cSo, I\u2019m in to do what I can to make sure that the president is reelected.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>As a leader of the progressive wing, Sanders has encouraged other high-profile lawmakers not to challenge Biden for the nomination, indicating all corners of the party will back Biden\u2019s reelection despite low enthusiasm about his candidacy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cAnd my job, and I think the progressive movement\u2019s job, is to make certain that he stands up and fights for the working class of this country and does not take anything for granted.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Sanders first sought the White House in 2016, initially running as a Democrat before losing to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the primaries. Sanders was then in a position to win the presidential nomination amid a crowded field of candidates in 2020 before several of his challengers dropped out to back Biden. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRunning for president was a wonderful privilege,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cI enjoyed it very much and I hope we had some impact on the nature of American politics. But right now, my job is to do what I can as chairman of the (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) committee, to see Biden gets reelected and to see what I can do to help transform policy in America to help protect the needs of workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more news from the Washington Examiner, click here.<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
