Senator Bernie Sanders is running for President.
From
Vermont Public Radio:
VPR News has learned from several sources that independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will announce his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday.
Sanders will release a short statement on that day and then hold a major campaign kickoff in Vermont in several weeks.
This is welcome news imo. His voice will be important for discussing the most important issues for progressives.
In the latest polls of Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders runs in second (amongst candidates who have said they will or are interested in running) behind Hillary Clinton, albeit the gap is considerable.
Bernie's first salvo:
I think that Hillary Clinton and every candidate out there should in fact address whether or not they support this T.P.P
