Sanders's Legacy Powers Progressive Surge | Burlington News
Description
Bernie Sanders’s 2016 run may have been a long shot, but it sparked a lasting progressive wave—candidates he backed are now winning primaries across the country, signaling voters are ready for a break from the political status quo.

And as new stars rise, the spotlight intensifies—endorsements are being pulled over serious allegations, forcing the movement to prove it can stay principled as it grows.
