Mike Gravel, a former Alaskan Senator, dropped out of the 2020 presidential race Tuesday after failing to join the debates and push his campaign’s leftist agenda. Since then he has endorsed Bernie Sanders, a self-defined socialist.

Gravel’s was solicited to join the presidential race by a couple of extreme socialist-minded teenagers who wanted to find someone who could push the political debate as far left as possible. David Oks and Henry Williams found Gravel to possess the qualities they were looking for in his outspoken anti-war past.
