Sen. Bernie Sanders at times during his CNN town hall sounded like he was already running against President Trump in a general election
Sen. Bernie Sanders at times Monday sounded like he was already running against President Trump in a general election, rather than the crowded field of Democrats he must first do battle with in the 2020 primary.
Sanders said he believes he can defeat Trump in Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, four swing states that were key to the president’s victory in 2016. He referenced a locomotives business in Erie, Pa., that began requiring mandatory overtime and paying lower wages after merging with another company, he said, while at the same time handing out lavish bonuses to high-ranking officials.
Sanders’ message may reflect his position in the race: Among the Democratic candidates who are running, he is at the top of the the polls. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who has not announced yet whether he’ll campaign for the presidency, is the only candidate ahead of Sanders in most surveys. Sanders, who said he was “very upset” to learn of the sexual misconduct claims, promised his 2020 operation would have strong protocols in place to prevent employees from being mistreated, require significant training of workers, and give victims the ability to report to an independent third party outside of the campaign.
