Biden says he supports paying campaign staff $15 minimum wage
By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 07/21/19 02:15 PM EDT

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday said that he supports campaign staff making $15 dollar an hour, the Washington Post reported.

“I think so, yes,” Biden told reporters when asked whether $15 an hour should be the minimum wage for campaign staff.


“The answer is, I think that’s true but I gotta double-check it," he added when asked if his own campaign staff was being paid that much.

Biden spokesman Andrew Bates told the Post that campaign interns are paid $15 an hour and that field organizers are paid a salary of $4,000 a month.

During a 60-hour week, that would work out to $16.67 per hour.

Well, it appears that he and his staffers are faring much better than Bernie who has had to cut back hours in order to afford paying $15/hr.

Supports it, yes.  Actually does it, no.
