Sanders, Delaney met with moderate Democrats on Capitol Hill eyeing potential endorsement by blrshepherd
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Presidential hopefuls John Delaney and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders met with the House of Representatives’ largest caucus Tuesday afternoon, marking the first sit-down talks intended to clinch an endorsement from a group that represents the moderate wing of the Democratic Party, sources confirm to Yahoo News.
Delaney, a moderate Democrat and former representative from Maryland, has been polling near the bottom of the Democratic contenders for president. Meanwhile Sanders, whose progressive views are credited with shifting the Democratic debate to the left, has been consistently among the top three candidates in polling.
These meetings come after the coalition put out a request in June to each campaign, inviting candidates and their staff to meet members and swap ideas. Sanders, whose base and platforms often bend left of center, has often bemoaned “middle ground” thinking within his own party. Story continuesDelaney has not been shy to target Sanders’s Medicare for All initiative, a policy supported by a number of Democratic presidential challengers. On a recent NBC appearance, Delaney claimed Sanders and those with similar policies “hijacked” Medicare.
