Jayapal’s support comes days after Sanders secured an endorsement from Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), the other co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. On a frigid Saturday afternoon in Portsmouth, N.H., Sanders spoke at a women’s march, encouraging men to stand with women on issues affecting them. During a brief exchange, Warren accused Sanders of calling her a liar and he replied with the same accusation against her. In an interview with The Post last summer, Jayapal spoke positively about both Warren and Sanders, recalling fond memories of her first meetings with both candidates. When she ran for Congress in the 2016 cycle, Sanders endorsed Jayapal, which led to a massive fundraising increase, she said in the interview last year.
