Bernie Sanders is an Independent from Vermont and one of the state's two senators.?

He may run for the White House, too. Is he part of a national Independent Party or just a lone wolf who strayed from the traditional parties?

    Sanders caucuses with the Democratic Party and is counted as a Democrat for the purposes of committee assignments, but because he does not belong to a formal political party, he appears as an independent on the ballot.

    He calls himself a socialist.

    He used to be a Socialist as a senator. Most politicians who call themselves Independent are Republicans in disguise.

    He's actually more of a socialist.
