United States Senator Bernie Sanders said he will bid for upcoming US presidential seat in 2020, as he makes a second attempt to win over candidates of the Democratic Party.
Sanders is one of the well-known figures to join a various large numbers of Democratic candidates, which early polls suggest he is far ahead.
“Three years ago, when we talked about these and other ideas, we were told that they were ‘radical’ and ‘extreme’,” said Sanders in his email.
“Together, you and I and our 2016 campaign began the political revolution. Now, it is time to complete that revolution and implement the vision that we fought for”, he added.
US President Donald Trump wished Sanders well on his second bid while speaking to White House reporters on Tuesday.
“Personally I think he missed his time,” Trump said. “But I wish Bernie well. It will be interesting to see how he does.”
“He ran great four years ago and he was not treated with respect by [Hillary] Clinton and that was too bad,” he added.
The US president further added that he liked Sanders as they both have been “tough on trade”.
The 77-year-old Senator became a developing political figure in 2016 although he lost to Hillary Clinton.
