Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders is an independent senator from Vermont who has reprised his 2016 campaign, championing economic equality. He is a self-described democratic socialist and has been known for his anti-establishment style. His signature issues include Medicare for All, a $15 minimum wage, and tuition-free public college. Sanders's plan for student loan debt involves eliminating all of the country's student debt. He has faced some criticism for his income placing him within the top 1% of taxpayers despite his frequent speeches against millionaires and billionaires. Sanders has never joined the Democratic party he hopes to lead.
