Bernie Sanders is writing a book about how 'the fight has just begun'


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.
