In a statement today, Justice Democrats endorsed Bernie Sanders:
Justice Democrats, the progressive group that recruited and backed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her run for Congress in 2016, endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday.
“I think that he is the best candidate with the strongest contract to be able to defeat Donald Trump and is the only one presenting a vision of the future with solutions that match the scale, scope and urgency of the problems we are facing,” Alexandra Rojas, the executive director of Justice Democrats, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
In a tweet on Sunday, the left-wing group cited Sanders’ support for Medicare for all, the Green New Deal, free public college tuition and his fight against income and racial inequality as the reasons for backing Sanders.
This also comes on the same day that Jesse Jackson endorsed Bernie as well.
