Bernie Sanders Will Run For President In 2020 And Challenge President Donald Trump

Sanders keeping door open on 2020. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who battled Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic primary and created a revolutionary movement among millennials, is having discussions about running for president again. “Yes, is the answer,” said one Sanders associate who helped with the senator’s previous bid, in response to a question about whether the Independent senator from Vermont had begun to think about another run. “He thinks he's earned the right to run again, and he believes if he would have been the [Democratic] candidate he would have won against Trump.” The source also suggested that Sanders is making his plans with other candidates in mind. “The last thing he's going to do is step aside and let Joe Biden take it,” the Sanders associate said. Sanders, 75, hasn’t publicly said if he intends to run for president again and his office did not respond to questions. Earlier this month, he traveled to Iowa for the first time since losing the state’s caucuses to Clinton during the Democratic primary. He gave a keynote address at an event sponsored by the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement. Next month, he’ll return to the state again to promote his book, “Bernie Sanders: Guide to Political Revolution.” Sanders held campaign-style rallies in West Virginia and Kentucky earlier this month, where he criticized the Republican healthcare plan. In April, he appeared front and center on a tour across red states with Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez. Jeff Weaver, who served as Sanders's campaign manager said Sanders is “keeping the door open” for a second White House run. Larry Cohen, a senior adviser to Sanders in 2016, said it would be good news if he ran again. “I can speak for the millions of people who supported him in saying we would love it if he runs again, and we’re hopeful he’ll run again,” Cohen said. Cohen also predicted that if Sanders does run again, it will be as a Democrat. Cohen said he doesn’t believe Democrats would reject him, either, given the work he’s done for the party, including through the road tour with Perez and campaigning for other Democratic candidates.
