Sanders became the chairman of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions at the start of the new Congress and is a member of Democratic leadership. Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats, has not faced a serious challenge in his reelection bids. In 2018, he won deep-blue Vermont by 40 points.
