On Sunday he said he believed the Senate Democrats had the votes to approve another relief package COVID-19.
In an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” program, presenter Martha Raddatz asked if he believed Democrats had enough votes, as bipartisan support for a relief project appears to be waning.
“Yes, I believe so because it is difficult for me to imagine any Democrat, no matter what state he comes from, who does not understand the need to move now aggressively to protect working families in this country,” said Sanders.
“Look, we will all have differences of opinion. This is a $ 1.9 trillion note. I have differences and concerns about this project, ”said Sanders.
“But at the end of the day, we’re going to support the President of the United States and we’re going to introduce ourselves and we’re going to do what the American people want us to do. The vote is overwhelming. Republicans, Democrats, independents, ”said the Vermont senator.
