Bernie Sanders to supporters in fundraising pitch: 'You are going to love Andrew Gillum'

[Uncle Joe]

Bernie Sanders has endorsed Andrew Gillum, and campaign with him. Now, he's fundraising for him.

Sanders, the progressive independent U.S. Sen. from Vermont, emailed a fundraising pitch to his army of liberal supporters Wednesday, offering to split their donations with Gillum, the Tallahassee mayor who claimed the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in an upset Tuesday.

"No one thought he had a chance — not just at the start of the campaign, but as recently as a few weeks ago," Sanders said in the email. "You are going to love Andrew Gillum."

"Essentially his entire campaign was showing Republican primary voters how much he loves Trump and will fight for his agenda," Sanders said in the email. "So for that reason alone, it is critical that we beat Ron DeSantis in this race."

4. I received the email today.

"Can you split a very important donation between Andrew Gillum’s campaign and my work supporting and rallying for progressive candidates like Andrew all across the country? He needs our help. I would not ask if it wasn’t so important.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will automatically be split between Andrew Gillum and Bernie Sanders."

5. Nice Catch

Does BS, with his over 9 mil in the bank and a sure win in Vermont, really need to pinch off dollars from Gillum?
