Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said he has talked to the Biden transition team about becoming the labor secretary in the new administration.
Last week, Sanders said that he would be willing to accept the position if President-elect Joe Biden asked, but on CNN's State of the Union, Sanders confirmed that he was seeking the position.
"Have you had any conversations with anyone from the Biden transition team about a possible Cabinet post?" Jake Tapper asked on Sunday.
"I talked to the Biden administration," Sanders said. "I want to do my best in whatever capacity, as a senator or in the administration, to protect the working families in this country."
