The Working Families Party has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders less than a week after its first choice, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, dropped out the Democratic presidential race.
The announcement comes on the eve of another round of crucial Tuesday primaries, including a do-or-die contest in Michigan, a state that Sanders won in 2016 and Democrats are desperate to reclaim from President Donald Trump this November. WFP leadership decided to back Sanders -- and make the argument to Warren loyalists that they should do the same -- after it became clear that the nominating contest would come down to either him or former Vice President Joe Biden.
Justice Democrats made their choice official on Sunday morning after staying neutral over the past 14 months. Both groups are trying to bring Warren's supporters around to Sanders, but it remains unclear how her base will break on Tuesday and beyond. Warren won the WFP's endorsement late last summer at what would turn out to be a high point in her campaign.
