Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com.<br>Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., had two thoughts about President Biden pardoning his son <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> after previously saying he would not, while talking to NBC's "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker on Sunday.<br>"When you have his opponents going after his family as a father, as a parent, I think we can all understand Biden trying to protect his, his son and his family," Sanders said. "On the other hand, I think the precedent being set is kind of a dangerous one. It was a very wide open pardon, which could, under different circumstances, lead to problems in terms of future presidents."<br>Despite that, Sanders believes that <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden leaves a "strong legacy"</a> due to being progressive on domestic policies. He also said that "the economy today in many ways is in very strong shape."<br>Sanders even went as far as to say Biden was the most progressive president since Franklin D. Roosevelt.<br><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/illinois-governor-says-violent-illegal-immigrants-should-deported-open-meeting-trump-officials" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ILLINOIS GOVERNOR SAYS 'VIOLENT' ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SHOULD BE DEPORTED, OPEN TO MEETING WITH TRUMP OFFICIALS</strong></a><br><span>Sen.

"We have millions of people in this country who are working for starvation wages. They cannot afford housing, that cannot afford to adequately feed their kids."<br>Sanders now believes the minimum wage should be $17 an hour, and hopes lawmakers "can work in a bipartisan way to finally accomplish that goal." <br>Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.<br>By entering your email and clicking the Subscribe button, you agree to the Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/terms-of-use">Terms of Use</a>, and agree to receive content and promotional communications from Fox News.
