"Bernie Sanders Throws Support Behind Progressive Regunberg in Rhode Island Race"

Bernie Sanders has endorsed former state Rep. Aaron Regunberg in the crowded Rhode Island Democratic primary for a special congressional election. The winner of the primary is expected to win the general election, and Regunberg is aiming to consolidate progressive support. He has also received endorsements from the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, the Rhode Island Working Families Party, and progressive lawmakers. However, some local left-wing groups argue that Regunberg is not progressive enough. Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos, who has faced controversy over fraudulent signatures on her ballot, is seen as the front-runner, along with Gabe Amo, Donald Carlson, and state Sen. Sandra Cano.
