Self-styled Democratic Socialist Sanders made progressive ideas popular in 2016 race. In the current election cycle they have gone mainstream and Warren has been capitalizing on the promises of breaking up big tech, taxing the rich, providing Medicare for all. She is now almost tied with former Vice President Joe Biden, while Sanders is coming third in recent polls.

"There are differences between Elizabeth and myself," Sanders said in an interview to ABC News "This Week" that will air Sunday morning. "Elizabeth, I think, as you know, has said that she is a capitalist through her bones. I'm not."

Warren did say "I am a capitalist to my bones" back in 2018 at an event   hosted by the New England Council, a regional business organization.

Sanders insists that it is a key difference between them as he is the only one to take on a “ruling class.”

"I am, I believe, the only candidate who's going to say to the ruling class of this country, the corporate elite: Enough. Enough with your greed and with your corruption," Sanders said. "We need real change in this country."

Sanders had to slow down his campaign after the heart attack last week, but has been doubling down in his attacks on the rich, even saying that he billionaires should not exist.

But his age and health issues aside, Sanders has been facing the same problem as other Democratic hopefuls – the field is crowded and with almost everyone jumping on progressive bandwagon, at least on the issue of healthcare, the agendas look very much alike.
