Sen. Bernie Sanders has confirmed to VPR that he is seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
His official announcement video is expected to stream online Tuesday morning.
"I wanted to let the people of the state of Vermont know about this first," Sanders told VPR's Bob Kinzel. "And what I promise to do is, as I go around the country, is to take the values that all of us in Vermont are proud of a belief in justice, in community, in grassroots politics, in town meetings that's what I'm going to carry all over this country."

Maybe he just wants another new house.
You know-add to the old portfolio....
Hey you kids, get off my socialist platform!
“Cant give up that $800,000 payday from the campaign (2 years salary of the federal office theyre seeking, win or lose, can be directly embezzled from the campaign into the candidates pocket.)”
That’s disgusting. He also gets his Senate salary, so he makes almost a cool $1,000,000 for running around the country giving talks about how we should be socialists. What a country..
>>Holy Cr4p! Get Killie McCankles and Pelosi and they could tour as the Zombie Apocalypse.<<
Gotta throw in Notorious RBG — she’s been part of the (non)-Walking Dead for some time.
This is great news. Bernie represents the crazy
hard left wing of the Democrat party, and his platform will expose their “ideas” (or more properly “delusions” or “fantasies”) for the total horse puckey that they are. Of course a significant portion of the population (including illegal immigrants who are here not to work, but to grab welfare)will vote for him simply because they’re too lazy and too cowardly to steal for themselves and would prefer that the government do it for them and send them a check with a share of the plunder.
One word "0bama"
I wonder if President Trump has welcomed Bernie with a tweet this morning?
What a sleeze bag, Bernie the raving communist must need another Lake House and more money for weed.
This time Bernie will find out he is old news. He challenged Hillary as a token candidate and found some traction because she was so disliked by many Dems. This time Bernie will face younger, more radical challengers who will make him seem mainstream and very, very old.
There should be a green candidate running as well.
Between Bernie and Biden, nobody can argue that Trump is too old for the job. I’m sure the FAKE NEWS media will still try.
You forgot Buttplug, that gay Mare.
So he’s changing his party affiliation AGAIN to Democrat?
Peter Buttplug is his name. Two term Mare of South Bend, IN.
Harris has the best shot to take down old Joe. The Dems need a person of color on the ticket, preferably at the top. Harris checks all the boxes:
A woman
A minority twoferblack and Asian
Child of immigrants
Relatively young, clean, and articulate
Married to a Jewish, white guy
Significant public service as DA in SF, AG in CA (re-elected once), and Senator
Moved to Canada at age 12 and graduated HS in Montreal
Proudly smoked weed and wants it legalized
Graduated from Howard, an historically Black college showing she is down with the struggle
Cant give up that $800,000 payday from the campaign (2 years salary of the federal office theyre seeking, win or lose, can be directly embezzled from the campaign into the candidates pocket.)
...
I didn’t know that.
Bernie’s platform is ‘Democratic Socialism’, Very different from real Socialism where the ‘State owns the means of production’.
You vote for the programs and redistribution of wealth at the polls.
This is the Big Lie.
Trump is campaigning early. Bringing up socialism heavily and repeatedly now... .
Why not run, Bernie? Everyone else is.
