Bryce talked about why he got into the race and how he secured an endorsement from Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. He also shared his thoughts on Foxconn, his support for a Medicare-for-All system, and what it’s like to have national attention for his campaign. He also addressed questions about his arrest record, which was first reported by CNN.
