Bernie Sanders

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.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said in an interview this week with Vermont Public that he supports Vice President Harris in her presidential bid and will campaign for her. He also hopes the candidate develops a policy platform that supports working-class Americans.

Vermont's Rep. Becca Balint and Sens. Peter Welch and Bernie Sanders thanked President Biden for his years of service following news Sunday that he was dropping his bid for re-election. Only Balint immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's next nominee.

Sen. Bernie Sanders says he’s not confident President Joe Biden can win the election this fall in the wake of last week's debate. But like most of the rest of the Democrats in Congress, he says he does not want Biden to step aside.

Last week, Sen. Bernie Sanders hosted a roundtable of Vermont health care leaders to talk staggering health care costs, ongoing hospital staffing shortages and what can change for a small state within the national health care system.
