WASHINGTON—Three years after fighting a surprisingly competitive Democratic primary race against Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, is making another run for the White House.

Two sources with direct knowledge of his plans told Yahoo News that Sanders, an independent and self-described “democratic socialist,” plans to announce his presidential bid imminently. While Sanders has been considering a bid for months, one of the sources said he was emboldened by early polls of the race that have consistently showed him as one of the top candidates in a crowded Democratic primary field. In particular, the source said Sanders was heartened to see numbers indicating he is one of the leading candidates among African American and Latino voters, two groups he was perceived as struggling with in 2016.

The source also alluded to a spate of recent polls that show Sanders as the most popular politician in the country. They attributed Sanders’ strength in the polls to the base and name recognition he built with the prior presidential bid.

“What the senator has this time that he didn’t have last time is he is the most popular elected official in the country right now,” the source said. “That’s light years away from 2016, when very few people knew who he was.”

A third source said Sanders’ bid will begin with an exploratory committee. Sanders’ campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.

In addition to these two sources, a former Sanders staffer who had not been briefed on the imminent announcement plans nevertheless said many recent signs suggest he is set to pull the trigger on a presidential campaign. Specifically, the former staffer said Sanders has been building out the infrastructure he would need for a White House bid.

“He’s already talking to staff and there are people he’s hiring. They’re nailing down contracts with vendors. … All the movement is there for him to run,” the ex-staffer said.

Although Sanders was ultimately defeated by Clinton last time around, his upstart campaign reshaped the Democratic Party. Sanders ran on a progressive platform that included a focus on eliminating income inequality, on campaign finance reform and an ambitious “Medicare for All” health care proposal. Those principles have become centerpieces for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, and several Sanders-backed candidates won elections last year.

Those principles have become centerpieces for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, and several Sanders-backed candidates won elections last year.

But Sanders’ impact on the Democratic Party went beyond his political vision. The primary battle between Sanders and Clinton was contentious, with Sanders allies contending that Clinton’s campaign was working in conjunction with the Democratic Party establishment to prevent a Sanders victory. These battles cemented divisions in this party that linger on as the 2020 election approaches.

After President Trump’s victory over Clinton in 2016, Sanders and his allies pressed for reforms to the Democratic National Committee that would make the party’s primary process more open and inclusive of what Sanders termed “the working people and young people of our country.”

Amid Sanders’ push for reform, the DNC assembled a “unity commission” to recommend changes that included members chosen by both Sanders and Clinton. Ultimately, the DNC made rules changes that included one of the main items on Sanders’ agenda, curbing the role of unelected superdelegates in choosing the party’s presidential nominee. At the same time, the DNC also adopted a rules change that would make it more difficult for independents like Sanders to seek the party’s presidential nomination.

In spite of this, Sanders’ allies consider that this new rule does not hurt his chances, because the Vermont Democratic Party passed a resolution last year recognizing him as a full member. A source who discussed Sanders’ 2020 plans with Yahoo News confirmed that he will be running as a Democrat.

Although he will be entering an extremely crowded Democratic field, Sanders is starting from a formidable position. Early polls of the race have consistently showed him to be one of the top candidates, probably due to the base of support he established in 2016. Sanders allies also believe his prior run could give him a head start organizing in key early primary states. Last October, Pete D’Alessandro, Sanders’s Iowa state coordinator for the 2016 race, told Yahoo News he was confident the senator would be able to build on the grassroots support and infrastructure he established in 2016 if he made another run.

“This was a movement. It still is a movement,” D’Alessandro said. (1 image)

Put your tiny snowflake hard-on away. Socialist Sanders (and your hero sand potato) have no chance. Just like Ron Paultard, it’s not Bernie’s time... revolution grassroots bullshit or not.

Both will die of old age... with only exciting the pothead hippies as a lifelong accomplishment.

Bernie is a true died-in-the-wool Stalinist Communist. Dedicated Bernie even spent his honeymoon in the old USSR.

Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.

Really? I never heard that before.

In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

Bernie is the epitome of an American Asshole Communist. He was the mayor of Burlington, VT then elevated by his comrades to the Senate. He does, like all good little Stalinists, own a rather modest home. He contributes nothing, but just occupies space and collects his unearned salary. We actually pay people to destroy our nation.

If the east coast liberals hadn't moved to Vermont (and New Hampshire) ages ago taking their left wing stupidity with them Boinie would just be another senile old leftist along with that Cheshire cat perpetually smirking Patrick Leahy.

Its true Pete.

I have been to Russia a couple of times myself. The first time only a few months after communism collapsed there,so I do know from talking with Russians that the commies had "two Russia's". One was for display purposes and populated strictly by dedicated Party Members who didn't mind pretending (assuming they knew,of course) that most Russians lived a MUCH simpler and less comfortable life.

For example,in "showcase Russia",each family had a private home or apartment. In "Real Russia" only Party leadership people had private houses they didn't have to share with other families. It was common for regular Russians to have up to 3 families who were not related living in the same apartment with 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen. To even buy another refrigerator for your family you needed government permission.

People are a LOT easier to control when you have multiple un-related families living together and sharing a bath and kitchen,and knowing that their key to a better life and MAYBE even a private apartment for themselves was to inform on the other families that lived with them.

We were lied to in the west about how the commies shut down the churches and imprisoned the priests. They only did that to the priests that refused to inform on their parishioners. "Orthodox Priest" even became a KGB career field. After all,who better to inform on the unloyal and law breakers than the priest they confessed to each Sunday?

If you wonder why Russians tend to be a bit paranoid,know you know why.

He owns at least three homes,one of which is worth a couple of million dollars and is on the shore of a lake.

He was mayor of Burlington VT at the time, and the taxpayers paid for the junket to the USSR, aka Bernie's Honeymoon.
