Summary

Some of the most scathing, if veiled, admonitions came Sunday from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who repeatedly condemned “middle ground” policy ideas and appeared to criticize Biden for not attending a Democratic gathering where Sanders and 13 other White House hopefuls spoke.“We cannot go back to the old ways,” Sanders warned in a speech at the California Democratic Party convention here as supporters cheered and waved signs bearing his name. Yet he seemed to open a broader and more personal contrast with Biden on Sunday.“There is a debate among presidential candidates who have spoken to you in this room — and those who have chosen for whatever reason not to be in this room — about the best way forward,” Sanders said, appearing to single out Biden for not showing up.The former vice president, who has largely avoided engaging his Democratic rivals in favor of focusing on Trump, was in Ohio on Saturday to deliver a speech at a dinner hosted by the Human Rights Campaign, a group supporting LGBTQ rights. “I get it,” she said in defense of Biden, adding that he will be in California “many times.”Sanders repeatedly told the crowd that gathered for his remarks — which was smaller than Saturday’s session, when 11 candidates spoke — that there could be “no middle ground” when it comes to winding down foreign wars, lowering prescription drug prices and enacting universal health care, among other priorities.The differences between liberals and centrists — epitomized by Sanders and Biden — on major issues are substantive.
