I ask that the previous order with respect to the motion to discharge be vitiated. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Bernie Sanders
The Public Record
Bernie Sanders is an American politician and activist who has served as the junior United States senator from Vermont since 2007. A member of the Independent party, Sanders is known for his progressive policies and advocacy for social justice, healthcare reform, and income equality.

Throughout his career, Sanders has been a vocal critic of economic inequality and corporate influence in politics.
this is an issue that I and a number of us Democrats and Republicans, progressives and conservatives, have been working on for a number of years. I was disappointed that the Biden administration has announced its opposition to the…
Two Democrats voted against us. That was a terrible, terrible vote. And I think what the Arizona Democratic Party did was exactly right.
the American people are increasingly disgusted at the level of corporate greed that we see today. We have more income and wealth inequality in America now than we have had in 100 years--billionaires getting richer, working people falling…
we are soon to be voting on the situation with the rail industry, which is an enormously important issue, not only for the 125,000 rail workers involved but for the entire country, because rail plays an enormous role in transporting very…

Yes, the economy is very, very important and we cannot do as the Republicans wanted give massive tax breaks to the rich, cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. That is not a solution to the economic problems of the country.
People can disagree without being disagreeable, and certainly without talking about violence.
And what Republicans are saying is, it's Democratic spending that caused inflation. That's just not true.
This election is about the future of American democracy. It's about whether or not women can control their own bodies. It's about whether we deal with the existential threat of climate change, which threatens the wellbeing of our kids, and…
No support for universal health care, no support for taking on the prescription drug industry and lowering the cost of prescription drugs. So, this is an issue. I think we should engage on.
The Democrats simply abdicated and walked off the debate stage. They have allowed Republicans to do all the talking.
And then have the guts Anderson to take on those powerful corporate interests, whose greed, in my view is doing so much harm to working families throughout this country.
The Republican agenda for working class people is a total reactionary disaster. You have a party, which in the midst of a moment when the rich are getting much richer, you know what they want to do, they want to give massive tax breaks to…
