Although he has not officially endorsed her, Sanders is actively supporting Harris. He conducted a poll in crucial swing states\u2014Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin\u2014revealing that a majority of the 1,150 voters surveyed favored progressive initiatives like increasing the minimum wage, raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations, implementing Medicare for All, and making public colleges tuition-free. The Biden-Harris administration has prioritized addressing the student loan debt crisis; approximately 10% of borrowers have received some form of debt relief. The poll indicated that 59% of respondents supported free public college education. Additionally, 63% backed Medicare for All and 70% believed the minimum wage should be raised to $17 per hour. In an interview with Punchbowl News, Sanders emphasized that these &#8220;radical progressive ideas&#8221; are not new concepts. The survey also highlighted that voters&#8217; primary concerns this election cycle revolve around the economy, jobs, and inflation; with 55% identifying inflation as their top economic issue. Despite improvements in reducing inflation under Biden&#8217;s policies, consumers continue to face high grocery prices and challenges related to living costs. According to Sanders&#8217; insights from the poll results: Harris should focus her campaign on addressing &#8220;economic issues concerning the working class.&#8221; He noted that she is currently tied with former President Donald Trump at 49% in a hypothetical matchup<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2542,"featured_media":2319413,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kamala-Harris-Bernie-Sanders.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32431,32175,32438],"class_list":["post-2319412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-2024-election","tag-bernie-sanders","tag-kamala-harris"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kamala-Harris-Bernie-Sanders.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2319412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2542"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2319412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2319412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2319413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2319412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2319412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2319412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
