Sanders appeared on Fox News to point out the biggest problem Biden will have in his re-election effort.
Biden announced today that he is officially a candidate again in an underwhelming video.
“The biggest problem that Joe Biden has is that he has a terrible record to run on,” Sanders said.
“Every single thing his administration touches, they screw up.
“And he is trying to sell this to our country as a good thing.
“Not only does he have a terrible record to run on, I think the campaign video shows the lack of energy and enthusiasm that he has and I think, frankly, that the country has to see him get reelected.
“I think people are looking for excitement.
“They’re looking for change, they’re looking for energy.
“And that’s far from what I think they’re going to get from Joe Biden or his campaign.
“It’s almost like one of those stories you listen to on the Calm app to help you go to sleep, instead of firing you up and getting you ready to get somebody re-elected.
“It seems to have the opposite effect than you would look for in a campaign video.”

President Joe Biden made his re-election bid official Tuesday, capping months of speculation over his plans four years to the day since he announced his 2020 campaign.
In a video titled “Freedom” — which opens with a scene of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, followed by an image of an abortion rights protest — Biden said that after spending his first term fighting for the country’s democracy, “MAGA extremists are lining up” to cut the social safety net and take away personal liberties.
“Cutting Social Security that you’ve paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy. Dictating what health care decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love. All while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote,” he said.
