"Personally, I think he missed his time, but I like Bernie," said Trump, who in the past labeled Sanders "Crazy Bernie." More than 330,000 people had signed on to support Sanders, the campaign said. Sanders has hired Faiz Shakir, an experienced Democratic operative who was the national political director at the American Civil Liberties Union, as campaign manager for 2020, the campaign said. In 2006, Sanders won a US Senate seat and in 2018 was voted in for a third six-year term. Sanders' candidacy swiftly caught fire, as he spoke to swelling crowds and garnered ardent support on social media.
