Sanders has a message for Trump

WASHINGTON - Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., challenged President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday night to keep his promises to the middle class. In a speech at George Washington University to a sold-out crowd of students, Sanders also called on Trump to pull back his White House appointment of conservative activist Steve Bannon.

The onetime Democratic presidential candidate, who was named the chairman of outreach for Senate Democrats earlier Wednesday, delved into his new book “The Revolution” and also talked about the future of the Democratic Party.

Sanders did not rule out running for president again in 2020. The senator skirted the question from the moderator saying, “the last thing the American people are worried about right now is who is going to run in 2020.” Sanders would be 79.

He said he was deeply disappointed with the outcome on Election Night, but it is now the job of progressives to hold Trump to his promises of helping working class Americans.
