Democrats questioned party unity Saturday in response to a recent poll that found only about half of Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders' supporters would back any other nominee.
MSNBC host Joy Reid scoffed at the"alarmingly high" number of Sanders and Yang supporters who are rejecting the"vote blue no matter who" movement to ultimately unify Democrats. She cautioned viewers Saturday that a second Trump term would be disastrous since Senate Republicans told him"he can do anything he wants.
Reid relayed an anecdote about voters telling her Sanders is"too radical" and fears he will lose badly to Trump -- a suggestionby a majority of hypothetical head-to-head match-ups between the two. Yang openly touts the fact he is trying to unify all political parties, not just the Democrats. The"Yang Gang" campaign uses the bipartisan slogan:"Not left, not right, forward.
Lingering cracks in the Democratic Party were exacerbated by recent comments made by Hillary Clinton in which she accused Sanders of preventing the party from unifying. Speaking with theprogram last week, Clinton touted her primary vote lead over Sanders, who ultimately conceded and openly endorsed her campaign at the July 26 DNC convention.
One of Sanders' most outspoken supporters, Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, appeared to respond Saturday as she encouraged Iowa voters to boo Clinton's name. She has since apologized.
