“I think, overall, we can likely push Vice President Biden in a more progressive direction across policy issues,” Rep.

In the interview she states that she was a supporter of Bernie Sanders in the primary because of his progressive stances, “but, you know, the primaries are over, and right now what is most important is to make sure that we ensure a Democratic victory in November and that we continue to push Vice President Biden on issues from marijuana to climate change to foreign policy," she said.
