(CNN) Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said Wednesday that he would accept the job of Labor secretary if President-elect Joe Biden asked him to join his Cabinet. "If I had a portfolio that allowed me to stand up and fight for working families, would I do it?" "Whether that's in the Senate, whether that's in the Biden administration, who knows," Sanders added. CNN reported Tuesday that Sanders has started to ramp up a campaign to become Labor secretary in Biden's Cabinet and is seeking the support of top labor leaders. Sanders' push comes amid intensified jockeying over the powerful Cabinet position from inside the labor movement.
