Biden Gets List of Demands From the Democratic Fringe | Eastern North Carolina Now

Publisher's note: The author of this post is Mitch Kokai for the John Locke Foundation.

    Brent Scher of the Washington Free Beacon reports on the political left's demands from presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

  • A coalition of left-wing groups with wide-ranging focuses have united to issue a list of demands to former vice president Joe Biden now that he's officially the Democratic presidential nominee.
  • The Wednesday afternoon letter from self-described "leaders from a diverse array of organizations building political power for young people" came just hours after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) announced he was ending his presidential campaign, cementing Biden as the party's nominee. The letter demanding Biden embrace far-left policies such as the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and a wealth tax comes from eight groups with diverging policy focuses, from climate change groups such as NextGen America to the anti-Israel IfNotNow Movement. The groups write in the letter to Biden that if their demands are met, they will spend $100 million targeting youth voters and "work tirelessly" to help him defeat President Trump in November.
  • The list of the demands sent to Biden represents an attempt to unify some of the furthest fringes of the Democratic Party, bringing together factions with narrow focuses on issues such as gun control, climate change, and immigration under a single umbrella. The letter urges Biden to move even further left now that he's secured the nomination and says it's the only way he will secure the youth voters he needs to defeat President Trump in November. ...
  • ... Aside from demanding Biden get behind major policy proposals such as the Green New Deal and Medicare for All, the letter asks Biden to make major commitments across the entire policy spectrum. ...
  • ... The groups call on Biden to embrace expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court, provide free health care to illegal immigrants, probe the NRA's nonprofit status, and enact a wealth tax.
