Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday signaled openness to West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin's proposed changes to sweeping elections overhaul legislation being debated in Congress.
"Sounds like I'm open to doing everything I possibly can to protect American democracy," Sanders, an independent from Vermont who caucuses with the Democrats, said when pressed by CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" if he supports Manchin's proposal. "We're going to do the best ... I like what the House passed, HR 1." Sanders told Bash he considers the House bill a "serious, comprehensive effort to protect American democracy," adding: "We will see what evolves here in the Senate."More Related News
