Sohn: Despite COVID-19 and tornadoes, Biden and Sanders turned Democratic party disarray into array

Former Vice President Joe Biden had quite a week last week.

It began for the presumptive Democratic nominee with a solid endorsement from former opponent Bernie Sanders.

In a live-stream broadcast with Biden on Monday, Sanders told Biden: “We need you in the White House. I will do all I can to see that that happens.”

Sure, this is old news. But in today’s world of COVID-19 and tornadoes and wall-to-wall Trump lies to cover, the “disarray” of the Democratic nomination becoming “array” got far too little coverage.

Sanders’ quick endorsement of Biden, just five days after the Vermont senator suspended his campaign, was a stark contrast to the 2016 Democratic race, when Sanders continued to battle Hillary Clinton into June and waited until July to endorse her.
