Sen. Bernie Sanders is joining a crowded field of Democratic hopefuls in the 2020 race for the White House
Vermont senator and 2016 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders announced Tuesday he is running for president again in the 2020 race.
Sanders told Vermont Public Radio he is running for office because President Donald Trump is an "embarrassment to our country" and because he wants to continue pushing progressive ideas into the mainstream.
In a biting interview Tuesday, Sanders called Trump a "pathological liar" and a "racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe."
Sanders said he plans to continue championing for universal health care, a $15 minimum wage and to reduce student debt.
"It turns out that three years have come and gone and many of the ideas that I talked about...are very, very popular," Sanders said.
