Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is preparing to reclaim a powerful committee chairmanship in the upcoming Congress, VTDigger reports. Sanders told NBC News that Americans demand genuine change, not tinkering around the edges, and urged Democrats to pass Medicare for All. He also warned that the party cannot focus solely on Trump investigations while preparing to govern. Progressive organizers credit Sanders’s extended political approach for the comeback, noting his constant advocacy for party change. Sanders insisted the focus must remain on health care and economic justice rather than endless investigations.
