Three strategists who played key roles in Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign said they are not joining his 2020 White House bid. It's the latest sign of how the campaign may look different this time around
Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in a statement that “the campaign appreciates all the good work DML has done and wishes them well.”With the campaign in its early days, Sanders already is signaling that he’s seeking to professionalize his operation. Shakir recently joined Sanders’ team after working as the political director for the American Civil Liberties Union.
His previous campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, has been criticized for not responding sufficiently to allegations of sexual harassment on the 2016 campaign. He remains a senior advisor to the 2020 operation. Sanders is among the most well-known Democrats in a crowded field. He has already showcased his impressive fundraising prowess, outpacing his rivals by raising $10 million in the first week.
Sanders will hold a pair of rallies this weekend to formally launch his campaign. The events, which will happen in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he was born, and Chicago, where he attended college and participated in civil rights protests, are aimed at more effectively presenting his personal narrative.
