Bernie Sanders speaking now in Vermont: "Joe is running a campaign which is obviously heavily supported by the corporate establishment. At last count he has received funding from at least 60 billionaires."
Sanders offers a comprehensive critique of Biden on issues, hitting him on "disastrous" trade deals like NAFTA/PNTR, Wall Street bailout, Iraq war, "disastrous" bankruptcy bill, Social Security and Medicare cuts.
Bernie Sanders says he wants his battle with Joe Biden to be about the issues.
"I like Joe. Joe is a decent guy. And I do not want this campaign to degenerate into a Trump-type effort where we're attacking each other, where it's personal attacks."

Sanders says he's making "progress" but admits "we have not done as well in bringing young people into the process. It is not easy."
"Everybody knows that young people do not vote in the kind of numbers that older people vote. I think that will change in the general election."

Bernie Sanders says he still believes the Democratic candidate with a substantial lead in delegates heading into the convention should be the presidential nominee.
Sanders says his Obama ad today was to convey he has worked with the ex-prez and respects him. "There is enormous pressure on President Obama to jump into this race and support Joe Biden." Says he appreciates his willingness to let the voters decide and support the winner.
