, “(Seoul=News1) Reporter Kwon Young-mi = Bernie Sanders, an independent federal senator from Vermont representing the progressive faction in the United States, evaluated Vice President Kamala Harris as still progressive despite recently shifting some policies towards the center.”,
,
, “According to The Hill, a U.S. political media, on the 8th (local time), when asked on NBC News’ ‘Meet the Press’ if he still considered Harris to be progressive, Sanders responded affirmatively. Sanders said, ‘Harris may not share the same views as me on several issues, but I still consider her progressive.'”,
,
, “Harris has changed her stance on issues such as expanding Medicare and banning fracking.”,
,
, “However, Sanders advocated for Harris’ change, stating that while their methods may differ, Harris also shares the same goal of moving towards universal healthcare and addressing climate change.”,
,
, “‘No, I don’t think she’s forsaking her ideals,’ he said. ‘Harris is trying to be practical, doing what she believes is right to win elections.'”,
,
, “Harris recently announced new economic pledges, including raising the capital gains tax rate to 28% for those earning over $1 million. This proposal represents a retreat from President Joe Biden’s initial stance to impose nearly 40% on them.”,
,
, “Sanders said, ‘I would propose a higher rate than that,’ but praised Harris for working towards the goal of addressing economic inequality.”
