Bernie Sanders: My running mate will back Medicare for All

Joe Garofoli and Anna Bauman March 1, 2020

Excerpt:

Sanders told The Chronicle on Sunday that he won’t choose a running mate who doesn’t support his signature issue, Medicare for All, a government-run single payer health system that would require Americans to give up their private health insurance.

“We will pick somebody who knows the experience of working families in this country, who has a history of fighting for those families and somebody whose politics are similar to mine,” Sanders told The Chronicle in an interview before a rally in a San Jose convention center.

“That’s always something that you want to see in a politician ... sticking their ground,” Arenas said. “It just makes you feel like you got someone there for you.”

Our Campaign Isn't Funded Like Biden's



Mar 1, 2020

We don't have a super PAC like Joe Biden. I don't go to rich people's homes like Joe Biden. We don't have donations from over 40 billionaires like Joe Biden. This is a campaign of, by and for the working class.

💰 Bernie Sanders raises $46 million in February

The massive haul could help sustain him in a lengthy battle for the nomination.

Excerpt:

The cash infusion came from 2.2 million individual donations, including more than 350,000 people who gave to the Sanders campaign for the first time, officials said. On Saturday alone, the campaign said it raised $4.5 million.

For Sanders, who has built the most imposing online fundraising operation in the Democratic field this cycle, the sum marks a significant increase from the $25 million it collected in January. Since the start of his second campaign for president last February, the campaign said it has raised more than $167 million.

The Sanders campaign did not immediately say how much money it had in its account at the end of February. It announced that it was purchasing airtime for TV ads in nine states that vote on March 10 and March 17.
