Bernie's Presidential Campaign

After announcing his candidacy in late May, Sen. Bernie Sanders has seen a surge in the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire.

In late May, on Burlington's lakefront, Senator Bernie Sanders officially announced that he was entering the race for President. Hillary Clinton was the favorite at the time and many wondered if Sanders' progressive platform and firebrand delivery would resonate outside of Vermont.

Since then, Sanders has appeared before large crowds across the country and seen his poll numbers rise in Iowa and New Hampshire. At the same time, Vice President Joe Biden is weighing whether or not to enter the race.

We discuss the surge Bernie has seen with Sanders' Presidential Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver.
