Sanders stuns with first television ad

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has sent shockwaves through the political world, with a $2 million television ad campaign.

On Sunday, the Sanders campaign released its first television ad, which it plans to air as part of an ad buy in Iowa and New Hampshire, exceeding $2 million.

“Thousands of Americans have come out to see Bernie speak and we’ve seen a great response to his message,” campaign manager Jeff Weaver said. “This ad marks the next phase of this campaign. We’re bringing that message directly to the voters of Iowa and New Hampshire.”

The television ad, titled “Real Change,” provides a brief introduction to the Brooklyn native, and an overview of his career as a mayor, congressman and senator.

While in Lebanon, New Hampshire, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders went trick-or-treating with three of his grandchildren.

Sanders met up with three of his grandchildren, Grayson, Ryleigh and Sunnee, and their parents near Colburn Park, not far from where he held a campaign event a little while earlier.

As Sanders and his family moved along, the independent from Vermont paused to shake hands and take some photos with well-wishers. One man said it was amazing to see him out. “I’m trick or treating, you know,” Sanders replied.

“Alright, Michael, you can get some candy. Tell them you’re dressed up and pretending to be a communications director,” Sanders told his communications director.

Before leaving, Sanders invited his grandchildren out for dinner. They chose instead to continue trick-or-treating.
