Bernard Sanders is an American politician and activist serving as the senior United States senator from Vermont, a seat he has held since 2007.

He is the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history, but maintains a close relationship with the Democratic Party, having caucused with House and Senate Democrats for most of his congressional career and sought the party's presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020.

Ideologically a democratic socialist, Sanders is regarded as one of the main leaders of the modern American progressive movement.
