2020 Democrat hopeful Bernie Sanders is currently battling the establishment wing of the Democrat Party.
This new battle emerges as Sanders has lost ground with voters within his party, going from second place in the polls to third place.
Sanders vs. Corporate Democrats
On Wednesday, Politico tweeted out a report that centrist voters are supporting Elizabeth Warren instead of Bernie Sanders. It’s also important to note that Warren previously occupied the third place position in the polls. However, after gaining some points, she managed to replace Sanders as the second place candidate to Biden’s frontrunner status.
It goes without saying that Sanders is less than pleased about the current state of his presidential campaign. Therefore, he took to Twitter to respond to Politico’s tweet with his own theories. According to the presidential candidate, centrists are turning to Warren because corporate Democrats are against a Sanders nomination or presidency.
See for yourself:
The cat is out of the bag. The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly "anybody but Bernie." They know our progressive agenda of Medicare for All, breaking up big banks, taking on drug companies and raising wages is the real threat to the billionaire class. https://t.co/zimci7JRO6

Previous Issues with the Democrat Establishment
The current presidential election is far from an anomaly as it pertains to Bernie Sanders. As many Americans recall, this is not his first time running for the White House. During the 2016 presidential election, Sanders launched an unsuccessful bid to win the Democrat nomination.
