Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders speaks beside supporters at an event calling on President Trump to uphold campaign promises on Capitol Hill in Washington on September 19. When Donald Trump campaigned for president, he told the American people that he would stand up for the working class and take on the political and economic establishment.
