(ABCNEWS.GO) — Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, is planning to announce on Thursday that he will run for president in 2016 and will enter primary and caucus contests as a Democrat, a senior Sanders adviser told ABC News.
The announcement will indicate that Sanders will launch his campaign in May, most likely in his home state of Vermont.
Sanders’ entry in the race gives Democrats at least one liberal alternative to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who declared her candidacy earlier this month. Sanders will also be Clinton’s first formal Democratic challenger.
Sanders is a self-described independent socialist and will enter the race as a definite long shot.
