Progressive Caucus Co-Chair PRAMILA JAYAPAL leaning toward endorsing BERNIE SANDERS for president.

@RepJayapal told me she became 1st state legislator in Washington state to endorse @BernieSanders in ‘16. He backed her early for Congress that year thehill.com/homenews/house…
“I have a very close relationship with Bernie; I have a very close relationship with Warren that is newer,” @RepJayapal told me.

“I will endorse but we just have to beat Trump, and I want a bold progressive to beat Trump. I will throw-in at some point”
JAYAPAL also wouldn’t criticize Sanders for what Warren alleges were sexist comments by Bernie that a woman can’t win WH.

“Sexism is real. There is no question that she thinks she heard that from Bernie; there is no question that Bernie doesn’t think he said that” - @RepJayapal
A @RepJayapal endorsement for @BernieSanders would be BIG, but symbolic for other reasons:

It wld mean that the entire top current leadership team of @USProgressives Caucus (CPC) is backing SANDERS over WARREN:

- CPC Co-chair MARK POCAN
- Vice Chair RO KHANNA
- Whip ILHAN OMAR
PRAMILA JAYAPAL makes it official, endorses BERNIE SANDERS for president
With Jayapal backing, ALL top current leaders of Congressional Progressive Caucus have now endorsed BERNIE SANDERS for president.

They are Co-Chairs Jayapal & Pocan, Vice Chair Ro Khanna & Whip Ilhan Omar.

And don’t forget Squad members @AOC & @RashidaTlaib
JAYAPAL tweet: “I’m all in for @BernieSanders for President! Bernie has the bold passion, authenticity & clarity that working people across this country desperately need.

“We are building the progressive movement that will bring justice & opportunity & transform our country.”
