VT-SEN 2024: Bernout? (update: Bernin)

[Compuzled_One]

Welp, let's just hope Vermont doesn't still have a Republican governor when he dies in office.

Bernie looks healthy enough, I don't think he'll die. That being said, this likely is his last term given he decided 24 days till the deadline, so I think he'll go into retirement in 2030 (and unless something insane happens, he ain't running for President again either).

Bernie's true love in life is being a pain in the ass to those in power. Of course he'll be here till he dies.

Impressive how alert he still sounds. Normally I'd have reservations given his age, but I don't know how anyone could look at him and doubt that he's fully capable of doing the job.

Thank god Bernie ran again, I like him and Im glad he is ensuring that his seat stays true blue. Had he retired instead it would have been the fall of a true icon, and it even could have even turned into a similar scenario to the Maryland Senate race. Especially had he retired instead and Phil Scott the popular moderate GOP Governor ran in an open seat scenario and tried to take the seat for the GOP.

Its all moot now however that Bernie is running again, and Scott is certainly staying put and probably running for re election as governor, a possible scare has been averted in Vermont.

I assume he will still run for reelection as an independent? Doesn't want to be a Democrat except for when he runs for President?

Now that he's officially thrown his hat into the ring again, one of the things to consider is what the county/municipality map would look like in terms of the final result. Back in 2006, Sanders won all but 1 municipality, while he swept all municipalities in 2012 and lost about a dozen or so municipalities in 2018. However, Essex County was carried by Trump in both 2016 and 2020, and by the Republican House and Senate candidates in 2022, so it remains to be seen whether Sanders can hold on to this county this year.

It's Vermont. They love Bernie regardless of label and Bernie would never run for president as an Independent because he isn't stupid.

Anyhow
