The 2020 hopeful is opening up about his upbringing, recognizing that his singular focus on issues wasn't enough last time.

When the New Yorker profiled Sen. Bernie Sanders during the 2016 presidential campaign, he sighed when he was asked about his earlier life.
I understand, he said. I really do. For people to elect a president, youve got to know that person youve got to trust them.
But, the magazine wrote, he couldnt resist sermonizing first, joking, I know those issues are not quite as important as my personal life.
More than three years later, Sanders advisers acknowledge that approach won't cut it in 2020, and Sanders and his team are now trying to present a warmer and fuzzier version of Bernie.
