In his first appearance at SXSW, Senator Bernie Sanders sat down with CNN’s Jake Tapper to discuss the news of the day, politics, and the future of the country.
Bernie Sanders is an Independent Senator from Vermont. In 2006, he was elected to the U.S. Senate after 16 years as Vermont’s sole congressman in the House of Representatives. In Congress, Bernie has fought tirelessly for working families, focusing on the shrinking middle class and growing gap between the rich and everyone else. Bernie has been called a “practical and successful legislator” and he was dubbed the “amendment king” in the House of Representatives for passing more amendments than any other member of Congress. As chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, Bernie worked across the aisle to “bridge Washington’s toxic partisan divide and cut one of the most significant deals in years.” Sanders serves as the chair of outreach for the Democratic caucus and is the ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee.
