Summary

The Hill's Campaign Report: Warren throws her support behind Biden NY, NJ lawmakers call for more aid to help fight coronavirus MORE (D-N.Y.), a Sanders backer and one of the most prominent progressives in the nation, has also appeared tepid about a Biden endorsement, only saying "we'll see" during a web event this week when asked about declaring support for the former vice president.“We’re having conversations with Biden’s team, and trying to figure out what some of these policy conversations will look like. I would love to see the vice president clarify and deepen his policy stances on certain issues," Ocasio-Cortez said, though she added, "I think it’s incredibly important we support the Democratic nominee in November."Biden has offered preliminary olive branches to progressives, proposing dropping the age to qualify for Medicare from 65 to 60 and unveiling a plan to cancel some student debt.But while progressives told The Hill they appreciate Biden’s “first steps,” those proposals have not tempered their desire to see one of their own by his side.“It’s both important for Vice President Biden to move on the issues, but also for him to surround himself with people who do have a track record of championing some of these issues that progressives care about deeply,” said Alliance for Youth Action executive director Sarah Audelo, whose group signed onto the letter to Biden.
