Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is aiming to reclaim a prominent committee chairmanship in the upcoming Congress, VTDigger reports. Sanders told NBC News that Americans want meaningful reform, not tinkering around the edges, and urged Democrats to advocate for universal healthcare. He also warned that the party cannot allocate all its resources to Trump investigations while preparing to govern. Progressive organizers credit Sanders’s persistent governance plan for the comeback, noting his continuous push for political reform. Sanders insisted the focus must remain on health care and economic justice rather than endless investigations.
