Sanders' Medicare for All gained broad support among progressive Democrats before and during the early stages of the party’s 2020 presidential primary.

Harris ’ team said recently that she no longer backs the plan, which fell out of vogue with Democrats as Joe Biden surged to the nomination four years ago .
