Well, folks – it’s official, Senator Bernie Sanders is running for president of the United States again. But this time, he’s not an underdog to Hillary Clinton – at least not yet!

Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, caught the Democratic Party establishment off guard in 2016 when he pushed and even what many believe beat Hillary Clinton to the nomination.

Few anticipated the strength of his candidacy and message. But his campaign fundamentally changed the party, and the rallying cries that distinguished Sanders from Hillary Clinton in 2016 — Medicare-for-all, a $15 minimum wage, campaign finance reform — are now mainstream Democratic positions, something completely unpredictable and unforeseen beforehand.

Sanders appears to be a frontrunner entering the Democratic primary season. He declared that he’s running again next year and already raised $1 million.

But it’s highly unlikely that he’ll beat President Donald Trump.
Former Vice President Joe Biden is also said to be contemplating a run.
