Sanders on Fox News town hall: It's important to talk to Trump supporters

Bernie Sanders is getting ready to make his pitch for president in front of a large audience at Fox News' town hall on Monday.

Fox News' Bret Baier, of "Special Report," and Martha MacCallum, of "The Story," will co-anchor the hour-long event. It will be the Vermont senator's first appearance on Fox News Channel since he agreed to be a guest on Baier's show in December 2018. He also participated in Fox News Channel's Democratic town hall back in 2016 alongside his then-competitor Hillary Clinton.

HOW DID BERNIE SANDERS MAKE HIS MONEY? A LOOK AT HIS WEALTH AND ASSETS

In December 2018, Sanders outlined four ways to "revitalize" the U.S. economy: increasing the minimum wage to $15 by 2024, universal health care, tuition-free colleges and the creation of "millions of jobs" in sustainable energy.

"Our campaign is about creating a government and economy that work for the many, not just the few," tweeted Sanders in February. "We should not have grotesque levels of wealth inequality in which three billionaires own more wealth than the bottom half of the country."
