Sanders to speak at Press Club June 8
Sen. Bernie Sanders. I-Vt., will discuss the future of American politics, including artificial intelligence and the upcoming midterm elections, in a conversation with Robert Costa at a National Press Club Headliners Coffee and Conversation on Monday, June 8, at 4 p.m.
The Headliners event begins with remarks from Sanders at 4 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session moderated by Costa, ending at 5 p.m.
A longtime champion for America’s middle class and a leading voice on income inequality and the rising costs on essentials like health care, Sanders is the longest-serving independent in congressional history.
Currently serving his fourth term in the U.S. Senate, Sanders is the ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. He also serves on the committees on Veterans Affairs, Environment and Public Works, Budget, and Finance.
Costa, the chief Washington analyst for CBS News and a national correspondent for “CBS News Sunday Morning,” was the recipient of the National Press Club’s 2025 Fourth Estate Award, the highest honor awarded by the organization for journalist contributions. He has long covered Sanders, including his presidential bids in 2016 and 2020.
This Headliners Newsmaker event is open to credentialed media and Club members. To submit questions in advance for the speaker, put SANDERS on the subject line and email to [email protected].
