Bernie Sanders may be (basically) out of the 2016 presidential race, but he's not done thinking or talking about it yet. The Vermont senator has secured a book deal with Thomas Dunne and will publish Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In on November 15, a week after the election.
The book will "include both his policy ideas for the future and reflections on his surprisingly strong run in the primaries," The Associated Press reports. In a statement, Dunne wrote, "Garnering over 13 million votes, winning 23 primaries and caucuses, and receiving more than 7 million individual donations to his cause, [Sanders] energized the party as he fought for the average American with unrelenting energy and passion. [The book] will be an inside account of this extraordinary campaign, and will also provide a blueprint for future political action. Its message: The fight has just begun."
Financial details were not disclosed, although Sanders' agreement might still raise eyebrows as it is unusual for a candidate to reach a book deal so soon after ending his or her race; Sanders endorsed Clinton just two days ago. It is additionally unclear if the publisher approached Sanders about the book, or vice versa, or if Sanders will have a co-writer. The Associated Press also floats the possibility of the book leaking, and any possibly negative comments about Clinton reaching readers in the days or weeks before the election date.
