Rep. Pramila Jayapal, co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for president on Sunday, declaring that she “can feel Bernie beating Trump.”
“What I feel we need is a candidate who is entirely authentic about what’s wrong and steadfast about it and can rally people to believe he can trust them,” Jayapal told the Washington Post. “Bernie has that. I can feel Bernie beating Trump.” Jayapal also announced her role as the national health policy chair for Sanders’ campaign.
“Rep. @PramilaJayapal has been a brilliant leader for progressive ideas,” Bernie tweeted in response to her endorsement. “She’s led the fight against Trump’s racism, sexism and xenophobia. Together, we will defeat Trump and build a working class movement and transform this country so it works for all.”
Given the chance, they would definitely transform this country, but it wouldn’t work for anyone except socialist elites like Sanders and Jayapal. But they won’t get that chance because Trump is headed for reelection.
