For a Republican to mount a successful bid against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the only self-proclaimed socialist in Congress, it would take “a miracle.”
And that’s exactly what John MacGovern is hoping for. The Windsor, Vt. resident is collecting signatures to get on the November ballot.
“Vermont has a reputation for being quirky and electing people like Sanders,” MacGovern told The Daily Caller. But that quirkiness could also work in his favor, he said.
“I think even in Vermont you can have some amazing things happen this coming November.”
