Bernie Sanders

At 83 years old, Bernie Sanders has emerged as an unlikely leader of the Democratic resistance to Donald Trump. For now, Sanders stands alone as the only elected official willing — or perhaps able — to mount a national campaign to harness the fear and anger of the sprawling anti-Trump movement.

Senator Bernie Sanders, Attorney General Charity Clark, and Solicitor General Jonathan Rose talk about their efforts to curb Trump's agenda. Then, we hear from local author Nathaniel Ian Miller about his new novel.

Vermont's senior senator discussed President Trump's executive actions with Vermont Edition's Mikaela Lefrak.

Vermont's entire Congressional delegation attended President Donald Trump's swearing in ceremony on Monday. Numerous Democratic members of Congress and other dignitaries skipped the ceremony. But U.S. senators Peter Welch and Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Becca Balint were in attendance.

White-haired hopefuls gathered in City Hall Park on Saturday for their chance to win a grand prize of $17, the senator’s proposed minimum wage.

Sanders, in making the case for stopping the sales, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government “has not simply waged war against Hamas. It has waged an all-out war against the Palestinian people.”

U.S. officials had given Israel 30 days to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, or risk limits to arms transfers. The deadline passed Tuesday. Humanitarian groups, the United Nations and news outlets say conditions in Gaza remain catastrophic, including ”imminent” famine in northern Gaza.

Incumbents Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Becca Balint won reelection Tuesday.

During the Vermont Public and VTDigger debate, the candidates disagreed on many topics, such as foreign policy, climate change, and health care.

While it's doubtful the politically split Senate would pass the measures, the move is designed to send a message to the Netanyahu regime that its war effort is eroding the U.S.'s longtime bipartisan support for Israel.
