Sen. Bernie Sanders has reaffirmed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris and her quest to become president. The Vermont independent, who endorsed Ms. Harris in August, has followed up with a statement issued through Our Revolution, a grassroots political action organization he founded after the 2016 presidential election.
