Biden challenges Sanders on ‘consistency’ over DNC rules

Former Vice President Joe Biden stated Sunday he doesn’t see “plenty of consistency coming out of a few of these campaigns” — a jab his prime rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, in the Democratic battle for 2020 delegates.

In the future after his much-needed South Carolina victory, Biden criticized the Vermont senator for altering his stance on whether or not a candidate needs to have a plurality or majority of delegates to win the get together nomination.

Sanders, who's main Biden by 10 delegates, has stated that a plurality ought to decide the nominee at this summer time’s Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee. However the Democratic Nationwide Committee guidelines require that the nominee wins the majority of delegates. 4 years in the past, as an underdog dealing with down Hillary Clinton, Sanders took the other position.

On Sunday, ABC’s “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos requested Biden that if Sanders have been to amass a large delegate lead, why shouldn’t he be the nominee?

“For a similar cause he didn’t assume when Hillary had the most pledged delegates that she ought to be the nominee,” Biden stated. “Don’t you discover, George, that there’s not lots of consistency popping out of some of these campaigns?”

He continued: “I say what I mean, I imply what I say … I assume the method is laid out, we should always go together with the method. But I’m not even certain he’s going to go into this conference with probably the most delegates.”

Biden spent a lot of his ABC appearance presenting the distinction between himself and Sanders, saying he might “win in places I don’t assume Bernie can win in a basic election.”

Biden’s campaign hopes his South Carolina win boosts his standing in Super Tuesday states and leads to a one-on-one battle with the present frontrunner. Biden raised $5 million over the previous 24 hours — the most important ever 24-hour on-line haul for his campaign.

Sanders has outraised, outspent and out-polled Biden in major Super Tuesday states like California. But Biden stated the senator would have numerous hassle profitable down-ballot races and initiatives if he have been at the prime of the ticket.

“It's a stark selection. And It isn't about whether or not or not we restore the soul of the Democratic Celebration, it’s about restoring the soul and unite this nation, the whole country.”
