Examples of Challenger in a Sentence

1. Susan Page:

   Bernie Sanders has exceeded nearly everyone's expectations in becoming the hero of Democratic progressives, to go to the next level -- to become not only Hillary Clinton's chief challenger but also a potential nominee -- he needs to expand that appeal to include other important parts of the Democratic coalition, including African Americans, Hispanics and blue-collar workers.

2. Jason Gardner:

   We have gotten close with them over the years, they are doing a lot in retail, they are building a pretty large challenger bank and that is something we focus on.

3. Tim Canova:

   It’s up to the challenger to prove he can actually get over the top in the primary, it takes extraordinary circumstances. I know Debbie Wasserman Schultz has made a lot of national headlines recently. But I’m still skeptical about the level of dissent in her district.

4. Bernie Sanders:

   Likewise, Bernie Sanders said Bernie Sanders campaigned for President Obama in 2008 and 2012( though Sanders in 2011 casually discussed the possibility of President Obama getting a challenger, Bernie Sanders did not ultimately recruit one).

5. Joe Argueta:

   One male was armed with a baseball bat and the other male with a pistol. When Dodge Challenger attempted to flee, the male with the pistol fired multiple gunshots at the passenger side of Dodge Challenger.
