This R&D provides resources on Bernie Sanders presidential candidacy. Sanders, who represents Vermont as an independent (he identifies as a socialist), declared that he would seek the Democratic presidential nomination last week. This makes him the second official entrant into the Democratic field. It is expected that Sanders will challenge front-runner Hillary Clinton from the left and try to make her more a progressive candidate before she enters the general election. Observers believe that Sanders, who is seventy-three, has very little chance of winning the Democratic nomination.
