Despite longstanding concerns within the Democratic Party, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is not worried his supporters won't back former Vice President Joe Biden against President Trump in November's general election.
ABC's George Stephanopoulos mentioned during Sanders' appearance on Sunday's edition of This Week that Sanders' former campaign manager Jeff Weaver put out a memo warning that Biden is falling short with Sanders' supporters at the moment. But Sanders said he believes the "vast majority" of the people who voted for him throughout the Democratic primaries understand Trump "is the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country." At the end of the day, he said, they'll likely vote for Biden.
