Keith Ellison is endorsing Bernie Sanders for President again.
Then-Congressman Ellison supported Sanders in the 2016 presidential race. He does so now as Minnesota Attorney General.
He appeared on the Chad Hartman show to explain his decision on Friday:
In an interview with HuffPost, Ellison says Sanders has the best plan for working families.
“The most pressing problem of our time is inequality,” Ellison told HuffPost in an interview. “For working-class people, they really can’t thrive and grow in this economy. And Bernie has the best prescriptions now and over the course of time has demonstrated the most consistent commitment to working families.”
He added that Sanders is the candidate "with the spine to confront" the wealth gap.
Sanders campaigned for Ellison at First Avenue when he was running for the state office.
According to the site, Ellison declined to make commitments about hitting the campaign trail for Sanders due to his role as Minnesota's top law enforcement officer.
