Trump created and turned things around.

Bernie is not a sentimental teller of sweet stories or glossing on flowery compliments. This is how he endorses someone, by telling what they have done--and will do. He is always about the issues.

He has laid the groundwork for Harris/Walz by making the case for Trump's agenda being more radical than any Progressive cause. This helps our ticket that will be called socialist, communist, and worse.

He has rallied his army of supporters behing Harris/Walz. They listened and they have heard to call.

He didn't claim the limelight for himself. He did what he needed to do for the greater cause.
