A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted Sanders’ endorsement of Biden’s presidential bid rather than making a bid of his own. Although Sanders was Biden’s main rival as the Democratic nominee in the 2020 presidential primary, he stated he would “do everything I can to see the president is reelected.” The Post also highlighted that polls have also suggested that voters on both sides of the political spectrum oppose Biden running for a second term.

Fox highlighted that “most polls” have also reflected high disapproval for Biden and Harris, with ratings in the low 40s.
