Sanders Considers Stopping Attack Ads Aimed At Biden

Sen. Bernie Sanders’s campaign is mulling a stop to all negative attack ads aimed at Joe Biden, The Washington Post reported.

The strategy is one of three options on the table as Sanders considers the gap of over 300 delegates he has with the former vice president, the Post reported. The other two are forging ahead — or suspending the campaign. 

Sanders hasn’t made a decision, the Post reported.

Larry Cohen, an ally who heads a nonprofit aligned with Sanders, is pushing for Sanders to do three things, the Post reported: support  mail-in balloting for the remaining primaries to curb the risk to voters from the coronavirus; remain in the race to accumulate enough delegates to influence the party platform; and forge a working conversation with Biden.

“Just a dialogue with Biden, not attacks,” Cohen told the Post.

Because of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, some states slated to have their primaries in the coming months have postponed their elections.
