Sen. Bernie Sanders has set himself apart from the rest of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary field by openly declaring himself a “Democratic Socialist,” a label he has long worn with pride. “What is your response to those who say nominating a ‘socialist’ would re-elect Donald Trump?” asked moderator Savannah Guthrie. “Well, I think the responses at the polls, last poll, has us ten points ahead of Donald Trump,” Sanders noted. Joe Biden, the only candidate in the primary likely to have better name recognition than Sanders, did even better, running 13 points ahead of Trump in that poll.
