Sanders Says Trump May Sign Medicare-for-All Backed by Over 60% of Americans

Summary
Bernie Sanders said he is not "absolutely certain" Donald Trump would veto Medicare-for-all, arguing Democrats should pass the bill and force a public decision.
Over 60% of Americans and 80%-90% of Democrats support Medicare-for-all, Sanders said, contending Trump could see political upside in signing a response to a "broken" system.
Chris Hayes had argued the odds of Trump signing such legislation were "pretty small," but Sanders said a veto fight itself would still clarify where Republicans stand.
The comments came after Democrats won back both the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterms, potentially giving Sanders' long-running proposal a clearer path to Trump's desk.
