Biden win is no ‘slam dunk’: Sanders

NEW YORK: Bernie Sanders is warning that if onetime rival Joe Biden doesn’t do more to promote his policies and reach out to Latino voters, he is at risk of falling short to President Trump this November.
Sanders went on MSNBC on Sunday to express concerns that Biden wasn’t speaking up enough about his economic proposals. “I think Biden’s in an excellent position to win this election, but I think we have got to do more as a campaign than just go after Trump,” he said.
“We also have to give people a reason to vote for Joe Biden.” In a Friday interview with PBS, Sanders was more blunt: “Am I here to tell you absolutely, this is a slam dunk, no chance that he will lose? That is not what I’m saying,” the Vermont senator said. Meanwhile, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg on Sunday said he is committing at least $100 million to help Biden’s presidential campaign in Florida. A victory for Biden in Florida would significantly complicate Trump's path to reaching the 270 Electoral College votes needed to secure a second term.
