President Joe Biden officially announced his campaign for re-election last week. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) expects Biden to easily come out on top in the 2024 presidential race if he focuses on strengthening his stance on working-class issues.

What Happened: Sanders told CNN that he believes Biden deserves a second term. He explained how the President can strengthen his case during an interview on the network last week.

The President and the Democratic Party have "got to make it clear that we believe in a government that represents all, not just the few," Sanders said.

In a video Biden released announcing his new campaign, the president noted that personal freedom is fundamental to the American way, and he urged people to look past red and blue lines.

"Let's finish the job," Biden said. "I know we can because this is the United States of America and there's nothing, simply nothing, we cannot do if we do it together."

Sanders acknowledged that he and Biden have strong differences of opinion, but he noted that the Republican Party is a threat to democracy and that people need to recognize that. 

"They maintain the myth that [Donald] Trump won the last election. They're trying to keep people from voting. They're trying to deny women the right to control their own bodies ... if you believe in democracy ... I think the choice is pretty clear, and that choice is Biden," Sanders said. 

Biden and Trump are currently tied atop most 2024 presidential election betting odds lists. Although many think that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis could win the Republican primary, a new CBS News poll found that 58% would vote for Trump if the primary was held today. 

Sanders doesn't seem to be worried about any Republican candidates. He reiterated that Biden can climb the polls by focusing on the working class. 

"Take on the greed of the insurance companies, the drug companies, Wall Street, all of the big money interests, and start delivering for working-class people," Sanders said. 

"You do that, I think Biden is going to win in a landslide."
