@katiecouric : #thebigstory: Senator Bernie Sanders (Independent, Vermont) and 2016 Democratic primary runner-up announced this morning that he was running for President (again). He joins an already crowded race, and is now the TWELFTH Democratic candidate to enter the 2020 arena. “We began the political revolution in the 2016 campaign, and now it’s time to move that revolution forward,” the independent senator told Vermont Public Radio this morning.  Sanders pointed to the Democratic Party’s leftward shift as the reason for a second run. “Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial, and environmental justice.” He enters the race as a top contender, far outpacing other Democratic candidates in support and name identification. He has been a long time advocate for universal health care, tuition-free public college, women’s reproductive rights, lower prescription drug prices, and criminal justice reform. His Medicare-for-all bill was cosponsored by fellow presidential candidates @kamalaharris @kirstengillibrand @corybooker and @elizabethwarren . As always, would love to hear from you! #news #politics #president #berniesanders #breakingnews #democrats #2020 #candidate #tuesday
