Senator Bernie Sanders said on Sunday that he and his team are still mulling over a 2020 run, reports The Hill. He said during an appearance on MSNBC's 'Politics Nation with Al Sharpton,' "I will make that decision at the appropriate time." Sanders continued: "And I will be honest with you, you are a friend. You know, we're looking at it. But it's a decision that impacts your family. And I want to make sure that when I make that decision, if I decide to run, that I have concluded, in fact, that I am the strongest candidate who can defeat Donald Trump." If he does enter the race, polls indicate he will do so as one of the top contenders within the Democratic party. In a recent POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, 19% of respondents said they prefer Sanders, putting him second to only former Vice President Joe Biden. Coming in third, with 9%, was Representative Beto O'Rourke who recently garnered a great deal of national attention in his midterm race against Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
