Bernie Sanders To Deliver His Own SOTU Response

The Hill reports:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will deliver his own response to President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday for the third year running.

The senator’s office confirmed to The Hill that his response will follow Trump’s speech and be streamed on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.

Sanders, who is an independent but caucuses with Democrats, will be delivering his response at the same time that former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams delivers the official Democratic Party response.

UPDATE: Bernie’s tweet just now contradicts the above-linked report. I’ve changed the headline of this post accordingly.

Stacey Abrams is a great choice to deliver the Democratic response. I’m very much looking forward to her speech.

For the third year in a row, following the Democratic rebuttal I’ll be on Facebook Live, Twitter and YouTube to respond to Trump. https://t.co/4xOCjkNwtF
