Bernie Sanders Seeks Reelection in US Senate
ai generated text
Bernie Sanders of Vermont has announced his decision to run for reelection this year, virtually ensuring he will return to Washington for a fourth term. He has been critical of President Joe Biden's handling of the US relationship with Israel. As a Democrat, Sanders has served as a congressman for 16 years. In an announcement video, Sanders described the 2024 election as "the most consequential election in our lifetimes".
I very strongly disagree with Biden in terms of the war in Gaza.
In my view, US taxpayers should not be providing billions more to the extremist Netanyahu government to continue its devastating war against the Palestinian people.
We are living in a complicated and difficult political moment.
Will the United States continue to even function as a democracy?
Today, I am announcing my intention to seek another term.
Anti-Semitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people. But, please, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.
I'm proud to see students protesting the war in Gaza. Stay peaceful and focused. You're on the right side of history.
I have been, and will be if re-elected, in a strong position to provide the kind of help that Vermonters need in these difficult times.
In 1962, we organized sit-ins to end racist policies at the University of Chicago. In '63, I was arrested protesting segregated schools. But we were right.
