House Democrat on social spending bill

The size of President Biden's proposed social spending bill could be significantly reduced after the president took a more prominent role in negotiations. The first major item that appears to be out is tuition-free community college, and guaranteed paid family leave could be reduced from 12 weeks to possibly four. Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat who represents New Jersey's 11th Congressional District, joined CBSN's Tanya Rivero to discuss the bill.

Sanders on backing Biden, beating Trump

Bernie Sanders joins Tony Dokoupil for his first network TV interview since endorsing Joe Biden. After dropping out of the 2020 race and backing his former rival, Sanders said he believes the vast majority of his supporters will rally behind Biden in November. Although Sanders acknowledged that "everybody in American knows" how different the two are, he stressed that the "choice is pretty clear" when deciding between Biden and President Donald Trump. The Vermont senator is also asked about his thoughts regarding the recent sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden, reportedly stemming from a 1993 encounter with a Senate aide. Biden's campaign has denied the allegation, calling it "untrue" and saying the alleged incident "absolutely did not happen."

Bernie Sanders endorses Joe Biden for 2020

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden took a significant step toward uniting the Democratic Party when Sanders endorsed his former 2020 rival for president. The two politicians said they are forming joint task forces on issues including health care, immigration and climate change. Sanders announced his support on a video call between the two that was broadcast online, throwing support behind Biden three months earlier than when he backed Hillary Clinton in 2016. Ed O'Keefe explains what Biden's latest endorsement means for the campaign trail.
