Despite protest from some supporters, Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders has endorsed Joe Biden for President, putting an end to the 2020 Presidential Primary.

This isn’t shocking news, as the Senator has consistently stated that he would support whoever the Democratic nominee for president was, but his announcement comes as a large number of Sanders supporters have been stating that they will not vote for Biden.

The announcement came during a joint Facebook Live session that the two hosted on the afternoon of April, 13th. During the session, the Senator stated to Biden, “Today I’m asking all Americans … to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy, which I endorse,”

Yesterday during a heated debate on the Be Heard Talk show, Stanley Fritz declared to Selena Hill and the rest of the team that while he was upset that Senator Sanders had to drop out of the Presidential Primary, he was not surprised, because Sanders didn’t do enough to win the black vote.

According to Stanley, “while Senator Sanders has run on a leftist progressive message that has inspired millions of young voters, it was not enough to get them out on election day and vote. Meanwhile, Joe Biden was able to maintain strong and consistent support from the black voter base, while expanding the support he received from white voters across the country. “

“If Sanders was going to win the Democratic nomination, he was going to need to win over way more black votes than he did, instead he kept ignoring the calls for reparations, and didn’t do enough to reach out to black leaders.”
