Bernie Sanders announced Tuesday he was taking another shot at the Democratic presidential nomination, entering a crowded field of hopefuls most of whom are running on issues that he had first championed in his unsuccessful 2016 run, such as Medicare for all, free public college education and $15 minimum wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re gonna win\u201d, Sanders said in a response to a question, during an announcement interview on CBS news, to a question about what will be different this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is absolutely imperative that Donald Trump be defeated, because I think it is unacceptable and un-American, to be frank with you, that we have a president who is a pathological liar,\u201d Sanders said in the interview..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have a president who is a racist, who is a sexist, who is a xenophobe, who is doing what no president in our lifetimes has come close to do doing, and that is trying to divide us up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 77-year-old senator enters the 2020 race as a leading contender for the nomination, figuring in the top-five in every poll, and mostly in the No 2 slot behind former Vice-President Joe Biden, who is said to be considering a run.Sanders had conceded the 2016 primaries to Clinton after a contentious and closely contested fight going right up to the party convention in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the time he was done, his key issues Medicare for all, free education at public colleges and universities and raising minimum wage to $15 had moved center-stage from being viewed as too far to the left. They have been embraced by most of the 2020 hopefuls and are now described as key qualifying issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
