(POLITICO) After months of fretting about a Hillary Clinton coronation, progressives are hoping Bernie Sanders is threatening enough to the Democratic front-runner to force a real debate.
Sanders, the 73-year-old Vermont independent senator who is officially announcing on Thursday his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination, is a long shot. But for now, he can command the liberal wing of the party and try to gain momentum to force Clinton onto his turf on three issues — income inequality, climate change and campaign finance reform.
“The middle class in America is at a tipping point. It will not last another generation if we don’t boldly change course now,” Sanders wrote in an email to supporters officially announcing a bid, according to excerpts provided by his campaign team.
