Sanders Refuses To Take 2020 Presidential Bid ‘Off The Table’
Will he or won’t he?
Senator Bernie Sanders on during an interview refused to take a 2020 presidential bid off the table saying it’s “much too early” to make that decision.
“I am not taking it off the table, I just have not made any decisions. And I think it’s much too early,” Sanders said in an interview set to air Thursday morning with SiriusXM.
“Our job right now is to not only fight against this disastrous healthcare proposal, it is to take on all of [President] Trump’s reactionary proposals … There’s a whole lotta fights that we have to fight. It is just too early to be talking about an election 3 1/2 years from now.”
This is not the first time Sanders has kept the door open for a 2020 run. Sanders is considered a clear frontrunner in the wide open 2020 Democratic primary.
Former Vice President Joe Biden is also thought to be considering a bid.
Sanders weighs in on the new Trump-Russia revelations
“From my point of view, it is a very damaging piece of evidence. But what is important is that there be a methodical, objective, bipartisan process that looks at this whole business of the possibility of Trump’s campaign colluding with the Russians,” Sanders said.
“This is pretty clearly a damaging revelation, but the process has got to continue, and it will.”
