'Elizabeth is a friend of mine. She and I have known each other well over 20 years. She's going to run her campaign and I will run my campaign,' Bernie Sanders tells TheView when asked if there's room in the Democratic Party for himself and Sen. Warren.
Vermont senator and 2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders doubled down on his criticism of President Donald Trump on"The View" on Wednesday and argued that an ideological shift was needed in the Oval Office.
Sanders, who ran unsuccessfully in 2016 for the Democratic presidential nomination against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, told the hosts that that 2020 is different because"many of the ideas that I talked about," including universal health care,"were perceived to be radical," but now"a lot of candidates and the majority of the American people agree."
In recent polls, Sanders has performed behind former Vice President Joe Biden and close to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. In the weeks prior to his slated appearance on the daytime talk show, Sanders has crisscrossed the country touting what is widely considered the cornerstone of his campaign, “Medicare for all.” The health care plan eliminates private health insurance provided by employers and transitions to a government-run plan. Sanders promises that his plan would mean an end to insurance copayments, deductibles, premiums and other out-of-pocket expenses.
During his trip to South Carolina, Sanders teased an additional plan that would cancel $81 million in medical debt, prevent medical debt from negatively impacting credit scores and eliminate portions of the 2005 bankruptcy bill that make it more difficult to get rid of medical debt.
