Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said Monday night that he wants to see Vice President Kamala Harris campaign for president "on issues of importance for the working class of this country."
In an interview with Linsey Davis on ABC News Live, Sanders said he wants Harris to "stand up to corporate greed and massive income and wealth inequality."
He also called for her to support raising the minimum wage and expand Social Security and Medicare. Sanders also said he wants Harris to "demand that the wealthy start paying their fair share of taxes."
If Harris takes on those issues, Sanders said he believes she "can win big," but he still wants to “have just another conversation” with the vice president.
Sanders had been supporting President Joe Biden in the 2024 election before Biden's withdrawal from the campaign on Sunday night.
"This has been a very unprecedented situation. I am not overjoyed about the way that President Biden was treated," Sanders said. "We are where we are right now, and I'm 99% sure that the vice president will be the nominee. And then she has an excellent chance to win this election."
While he still has plans to speak with Harris, he is committed to keeping former President Donald Trump from returning to the White House.
"Well, I'm going to do everything I can to see that Donald Trump, [the] most dangerous president in American history, is defeated," Sanders said.
