Biden says he wants Sanders to be part of his presidential 'journey' [View all]

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday praised Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for having a “significant” influence on American politics and said he hopes his primary rival will play a role in his own campaign if should he be the Democratic nominee.

Speaking on NBC’s “The Today Show,” Biden reiterated his commitment to picking a woman as his vice presidential running mate. But he said he that he’s spoken to Sanders recently and that he wants him to be a part of his presidential “journey.”

“Bernie has an incredible following,” Biden said. “He’s maybe one of a half dozen people in American history who may not be the nominee but has had an impact on American politics in a significant way, in a positive way."

"If I'm the nominee I can tell you one thing — I would very much want Bernie Sanders to be part of the journey. Not as a vice presidential nominee, but just in engaging in all the things that he's worked so hard to do, many of which I agree with."
