We're gonna win. |
The formal announcement was this morning. Now we have six senators running for President of the United States.
Vermont senator Bernie Sanders is gearing up for another fight for the Democratic nomination. The independent senator will be in a crowded field.
Five women are in this race. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Sen. Amy Kloubecher (D-MN).
There is Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Rep. John Delaney (D-MD), Peter Buttigieg, Julian Castro and now Sanders make up a heavy roster of candidates,
They have to beat an imbecile who has a 65% chance to win reelection.
The democratic socialist says "it's about time for Democrats to move forward."
"Together, you and I and our 2016 campaign began the political revolution. Now, it is time to complete that revolution and implement the vision that we fought for," Sanders said in an email to supporters and a video announcing his candidacy.
The 77-year old independent U.S. Senator from Vermont, who is a progressive wants an agenda that includes everything from Medicare for All to a $15 minimum wage to free college tuition.
Sanders who went through the 2016 presidential campaign faced a bitter rival. 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton lost to Donald J. Trump in what many expected was her opportunity to be the first female president. Clinton and her supporter blame Trump, Sanders, Fox News and Russian propaganda for her lost.
Her supporters are still bitter and figure that the Bernie Bros. will once again taint the Democrats if Sanders fails to secure the nomination.
Sanders is going to hopefully work on unifying the party. He also has to prove that he's ready to lead our nation.
Sanders announced his formal bid on Vermont Public Radio.
"I think the current occupant of the White House is an embarrassment to our country," he said. "I think he is a pathological liar.... I also think he is a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, somebody who is gaining cheap political points by trying to pick on minorities, often undocumented immigrants."
Sanders will focus on his personal stories. He will also try to reach out to more minority groups.
Since announcing his bid for president, Sanders managed to gain $6 million in fundraising.
