“It’s just a lot of baggage that Joe Biden takes into a campaign, which isn’t going to create energy and excitement,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, (I-VT) said in an interview with The Washington Post published Thursday.

“He brings into this campaign a record which is so weak that it just cannot create the kind of excitement and energy that is going to be needed to defeat Donald Trump,” continued Sanders.

“It doesn’t take much imagination to understand that Trump will be saying, ‘You see this guy? He voted for NAFTA,’” Sanders said. “People are tired of the traditional types of campaigns in which candidates like Joe are running to wealthy people’s homes and raising large sums of money.”
