(MENAFN) Independent Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont has secured a fourth term in the US Senate, defeating his opponent, Gerald Malloy, according to media projections late Tuesday. The 83-year-old progressive politician, who has represented Vermont for decades, will continue to serve the state in Washington, beginning a new six-year term. Sanders’ victory ensures that he will remain a key figure in US politics, continuing his longstanding presence in the Senate.



Sanders has built a distinguished career in the US House of Representatives and the Senate. He was first elected to the House in 1991, where he served for 16 years before transitioning to the Senate in 2007. Over the years, he has built a reputation as one of the most prominent progressive voices in American politics, known for his advocacy on issues such as income inequality, healthcare reform, and climate change. Throughout his tenure, he has remained an independent, caucusing with the Democratic Party while maintaining his own distinct political identity.



Although Sanders identifies as an Independent, his political philosophy and policy priorities align closely with many in the Democratic Party. He has been a significant figure in shaping the party's progressive wing and has worked collaboratively with Democratic lawmakers on a variety of issues. His ongoing partnership with the Democratic Party, particularly in his efforts to influence major national debates, will likely continue throughout his new term in the Senate.



In addition to his Senate career, Sanders made two bids for the presidency in 2016 and 2020, where he garnered significant support from voters seeking more progressive policies. He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her 2024 presidential campaign, further cementing his role within the broader Democratic coalition. Despite his independent status, Sanders’ influence in US politics, especially in pushing progressive reforms, remains powerful, and his reelection marks another chapter in his enduring political journey.
