Bernie
Sanders hasn’t ruled out another run for presidency in 2020, while
also branding the Democratic party’s loss to Donald Trump “an
embarrassment.”
When asked
by AP whether he would run in the next presidential election, Sanders
said, "Four years is a long time from now," explaining he
is up for Senate reelection in 2018. "We'll take one thing at a
time, but I'm not ruling out anything."
Following
Donald Trump’s election victory, many have pointed to the fact that
had the Democratic National Committee not worked to prevent Sanders
from winning the primaries, the 75-year-old senator could have beaten
Trump in a general election.
Sanders has
also said Trump’s victory was an embarrassment to the Democratic
party, as working class voters chose the Republican candidate over
Hillary Clinton.
"It
is an embarrassment, I think, to the entire of Democratic party that
millions of white working-class people decided to vote for Mr.
Trump,” he said. “Which suggests that the Democratic
message of standing up for working people no longer holds much sway
among workers in this country."
