Sanders signed the Indivisible Pledge - promising to support the Dem nominee

Which says he will support whoever the Dem nominee is during the general election.

https://pledge.indivisible.org/

Most candidates have signed it. The pledge states that the candidate will make themselves available when requested by the Dem nominee.

I am not a supporter of Bernie for this election but I think he’s already jumped this hurdle.

The full pledge:

The 2020 Candidate Pledge.

We must defeat Donald Trump. The first step is a primary contest that produces a strong Democratic nominee. The second step is winning the general election. We will not accept anything less. To ensure this outcome, I pledge to:

Make the primary constructive. I’ll respect the other candidates and make the primary election about inspiring voters with my vision for the future.

Rally behind the winner. I’ll support the ultimate Democratic nominee, whomever it is — period. No Monday morning quarterbacking. No third-party threats. Immediately after there’s a nominee, I’ll endorse.

Do the work to beat Trump. I will do everything in my power to make the Democratic Nominee the next President of the United States. As soon as there is a nominee, I will put myself at the disposal of the campaign.



Do the work to beat Trump. We’re the grassroots army that’s going to power the nominee to victory, and we’ll show up to make calls, knock doors, and do whatever it takes.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
