New decade, new messaging? Bernie Sanders is saying 'millionaires' less often in his campaign for the presidential nomination, focusing instead on billionaires.
As a Bernie Sanders basked in a New Hampshire primary win , he reeled off the familiar tenets of his "political revolution."
After an insurgent run four years ago marked by criticism of the Democratic Party, he has made more calls for Democratic unity since the nominating contests started this month. He has urged supporters to back whoever becomes the party nominee. Of course, parts of his 2020 campaign have also become more specific to President Donald Trump.
"Millionaires and billionaires are pouring unbelievable sums of money into the political process in order to fund super PACs and to elect candidates who represent their interests, not the interests of working people," he said in an October 2015 debate,Sanders has targeted billionaires as often as ever in the eight 2020 Democratic debates that began in June. But he has not said "millionaires" during the events, according to transcript searches.
The senator himself became a millionaire in 2016 as he vaulted into the national consciousness. Book deals drove more money into his pockets.
