WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden, facing increasing pressure from the left wing of his party to get tougher on Israel and change its military campaign in Gaza, spent Wednesday rhetorically and literally embracing one of his fiercest critics on the issue, hosting an event at the White House where he and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders celebrated a recent victory over the prescription drug lobby.
“Bernie and I have been doing this work for a long time. I know we don’t look it. But we have,” he quipped about his fellow octogenarian. The event was natural terrain for collaboration between Biden and Sanders, according to Ari Rabin-Havt, a former senior advisor to Sanders. Many observers remember Sanders and Biden’s fierce disagreement over universal health care during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.
