by Garrett FriskVermont Sen. Bernie Sanders still has yet to announce whether he'll seek a fourth term in 2024, but that hasn't stopped other contenders from entering the race. Diamond Eye Candidate Report previously wrote that frequent candidate Cris Ericson was in the running, but now there's a second contender, and he's a familiar foe for Sanders; social worker Jon Svitavsky, who challenged Sanders in the Democratic primary in 2018, is running once again. In his 2018 campaign, Svitavsky accused Sanders of causing Donald Trump's victory by "dividing" the Democratic Party, and alleged that he was not a real Democrat. Svitavsky, who has started several homeless shelters, ended up dropping out before the primary. He has not officially launched his 2024 campaign yet, but he has confirmed that he will run, recently saying that he needed to raise another $570 before he could "make the National Announcement of my Candidacy for the US Senate against Bernie Sanders." Svitavsky's campaign website can be found here. Comments are closed.
