Although he reached some of the polling thresholds, Gravel was not invited to any of the 2020 presidential debates, where he had announced he would challenge U.S. imperialism and centrism.

Today, Gravel made his official 2020 endorsement, favoring the most left candidate in the field, unsurprisingly putting his support behind Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

Sanders thanked Gravel for the endorsement and pledged to take on his preeminent fight: ending forever wars.
