And I agree with her. The idea is an insult to Biden. They have plenty of reason to support him that has nothing to do with Sanders.

The moderates prefer a candidate who isn't as moderate as they are, but isn't as far left as others. And they prefer someone who works well with people and might even attract some centrist support.

And they want a person they believe will beat Donald Trump.

A day after endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden for president, Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Tuesday rejected the notion that she and other Democrats are trying to crush Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“You want a candidate that not just builds a coalition of fired-up Democrats, which we've got, but also brings in independents, moderate Republicans. That's how we won back the House of Representatives, and that's what Joe Biden can do,” Klobuchar said in an interview with Savannah Guthrie on "TODAY" as voters head to the polls on Super Tuesday when 14 states and American Samoa hold primary contests.

“I don't look at the mayor and Beto O'Rourke and myself as establishment. I look at us as new leaders for the party, fresh faces for the party. And we're basically saying, 'We've got to win here, and that's why we're supporting Joe Biden,'” Klobuchar said Tuesday.

Asked to react to President Donald Trump’s impression that she and other Democrats were staging a “coup” against Sanders, Klobuchar said that none of them had even spoken to each other before endorsing Biden.
