We're in this to win. |
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is going to join the race. This would be his second time entering the race.
The 77-year old Vermont senator lost to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic nomination. This time around, I believe Sanders will face a competitive field.
With that being said, he's the fourth Senator to announce a bid to run for president. The other lawmakers in this race include, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI).
Rep. John Delaney (D-MD), Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington, Julian Castro and Pete Buttigieg are also in this race as well.
Bernard Sanders is an American politician serving as the junior U.S. Senator of Vermont. He is an independent who caucuses with the Democrats. He and Sen. Angus King (I-ME) are the two only members of the Senate who are independents.
Do you believe Bernie Sanders is ready to be President of the United States? (Expect the dumbest answers to pick by trolls)
He was elected as the mayor of Burlington, the state's largest city. He served as a U.S. Representative in 1991 until 2007. He won the U.S. Senate election when Jim Jeffords, the former Republican, turned independent retired in 2006 and Sanders has been the senator ever since.
Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist, progressive and labor rights activist.
He believes that the United States continues to lead in economic inequality. He wants to advocate universal and single payer healthcare, paid parental leave, tuition free tertiary education and a reduction in military spending and wars.
Sanders is about to make his announcement "imminently."
Senior advisor Josh Orton shot back rumors by saying that it's no decision imminent.
Sanders will be a top-tier candidate this time around. He is no longer the underdog in this race. He already has name recognition.
He could do better with Black and Hispanic voters.
Being popular does come with a price. The right will find ways to take that popularity down. Trust me, it did no good for Barack Obama.
Sanders is looking to launch a presidential exploratory committee.
Sanders has move the Democratic Party to its progressive side. The party managed to win the House of Representatives. It helped raise the profiles of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Sharice Davids (D-KS), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Rashida Tliab (D-MI) and Ro Khanna (D-CA).
