Bernie Sanders resolves to ‘intensify the struggle against Trumpism’ in 2018

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) late Sunday shared his New Year’s resolution: to “intensify the struggle against Trumpism.”

“In 2018, we will not only intensify the struggle against Trumpism, we will increase our efforts to spread the progressive vision in every corner of the land,” Sanders tweeted. 

Here is a New Year’s Resolution I hope you will share with me. In 2018, we will not only intensify the struggle against Trumpism, we will increase our efforts to spread the progressive vision in every corner of the land.

{mosads}Sanders has been a frequent and vocal critic of President Trump, even calling on the president to consider resigning because of sexual misconduct allegations.

Sanders has also advocated for progressive policies, including universal health care, free tuition at public universities and colleges and campaign finance reform.

Sanders, who lost the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination to Hillary Clinton, is considered among the leading candidates to run for the Democratic nomination in 2020. 

The independent senator is spending New Year’s Day in New York City, where he will swear in Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) for a second term. Sanders previously appeared at a campaign rally for de Blasio.

A number of other lawmakers shared New Year’s resolutions on Sunday, with several vowing to oppose Trump and Republicans.
