Rep. Rashida Tlaib hasn't endorsed Bernie Sanders yet: What she's saying

WASHINGTON — The "Squad" doesn't do everything together, it seems.

After multiple media reports Tuesday night and Wednesday morning that U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, had joined Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., in endorsing U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, Tlaib tapped on the brakes.

"I have not made any endorsement at this time," Tlaib said in a statement to the Free Press, adding that she is planning to bring Sanders, the U.S. senator from Vermont, to her Detroit-based district on Oct. 27 for a tour.

Tlaib's office also said that she is not planning to be part of a Sanders rally in New York City this weekend despite reports that she would be. Instead, she is expected to be at a rally of progressives in Lansing.

As they say, oopsie!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
