This is the best summary I could come up with:


Sanders, who had previously supported Biden's reelection bid, expressed concern about the media's role in pushing the President out of the race.

The Vermont senator's hesitation to immediately endorse Harris stands in contrast to the wave of support she has received from within the Democratic Party.

When pressed about what it would take for him to endorse the Vice President, Sanders emphasized the importance of the upcoming campaign, highlighting critical issues such as climate change and economic rights.

Sanders pointed to disparities in American society, noting that "life expectancy for working-class people is 10 years shorter than it is for the rich."

While expressing confidence that he will eventually endorse Harris, Sanders made it clear that he wants to ensure the campaign aligns with his vision for addressing the needs of working families.

Some Hillary Clinton supporters have argued that Sanders' long campaign against her in the 2016 Democratic primaries and his perceived reluctance to unite the party helped Donald Trump defeat her in the general election.
