So, Bernie pays Levi with campaign moneys. What does Levi do? Well, it seems like Jeff Weaver has no idea:

As The Boston Globe reported in February, nearly all of Bernie’s campaign aides, advisers, and allies in New Hampshire warned Levi—whose title on his father’s campaign was senior policy analyst—not to run, and not to expect their endorsements if he did. Jeff Weaver, Bernie’s presidential campaign manager, could barely disguise his disdain: “[He] really doesn’t know much, to be honest with you.”

The person you are talking about is the son-in-law of Jane Sanders, David Driscoll. He was hired to lead the Foundation even though he had no prior non-profit experience.

You can start to see why Bernie wants to keep the campaign going. He needs to keep all of the family member employees of Bernie, Inc. fully employed.

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