The Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders said he intends to run for President in 2020.
«What I promise to do throughout the country is to take the values that we are all proud of in Vermont: faith in justice, in community, in politics at the local level, in town meeting,» — said the residents of Vermont after he announced his decision to run for President.
In 2015, Sanders also participated in the presidential race, but before the primaries, withdrew his candidacy, despite a lot of support to give to the former Secretary of state and first lady Hillary Clinton.
Then the politician was different from the rest of the participants that fundamentally refused to Finance his campaign by corporations, solely accepting private donations from voters. After the defeat of the Clinton Sanders stated that he would support trump if he will «find the courage to confront the corporations.» Now he sharply criticized the President.
The Senator is the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on veterans Affairs and the record-holder on duration of stay in the U.S. Congress from all independent MPs.
Sanders is one of the most popular politicians among voters-Democrats, and his political program — a set of progressive proposals for a public health care system, expansion of the social protection system and to ensuring higher education was endorsed by many democratic leaders.
