Hunter Biden's pardon sets a 'perilous' precedent, according to Bernie Sanders.

On Sunday, while speaking to NBC's "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., shared his thoughts on President Biden pardoning his son Hunter Biden, which he had previously stated he would not do.

"Sanders stated that when Biden's opponents attack his family as a father and parent, it is understandable that he would try to protect them. However, she believes that the precedent set by the wide-open pardon could lead to issues in the future for future presidents."

Although Sanders considers Biden's legacy to be strong due to his progressive stance on domestic policies, he also stated that the economy is currently in a strong position.

Biden was described as the most progressive president since Franklin D. Roosevelt by Sanders.

Sanders pledged to collaborate with President-elect Trump to increase the minimum wage, which has remained at $7.25 an hour since 2009, while discussing it.

Sanders stated that Trump recognized the wage was insufficient, but Sanders added that the last time he attempted to increase it to $15 per hour was two years ago, and no Republicans supported it.

"Sanders stated that a $7.25 per hour minimum wage is an absolute disgrace, as millions of people in the country are working for starvation wages and cannot afford adequate housing or to feed their children."

Sanders now advocates for a minimum wage of $17 per hour and hopes that lawmakers can collaborate in a bipartisan manner to achieve this objective.
