According to several American media, Bernie Sanders is expected to win a Senate seat in the northeastern state of Vermont. This will be his fourth term in the upper chamber as an independent.

Aged 83, this radical left-wing representative had made a name for himself nationally after unsuccessfully seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016.

A popular figure in American politics, he often voted with the Democrats, even though he opposed them on many issues, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Bernie Sanders had called for a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
