To this point, voters have seen a lot of Jane O'Meara Sanders but not heard much. She often travels with her husband, and when Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) takes the stage at political rallies, she walks out with him, parting ways before he speaks.
As the first Democratic presidential nominating contests approach, however, Jane Sanderss voice is likely to be more in the mix, as her husbands campaign seeks to share more about a candidate who doesnt like to talk very much about himself.
That dynamic was on display Monday as the candidates wife of 27 years appeared on Bloomberg televisions With All Due Respect. Among other things, she talked about Sanders teaching his grandchildren to play chess, soccer and baseball.
Thats something your viewers wouldnt know, but thats always been something that happens every time hes home, Sanders told hosts Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.
