Sanders’s campaign, who acknowledges Sanders as being the ““the longest serving independent member of Congress in American history,” has said that the Vermont Senator will remain a Democrat after the election. 

“If Sen. Sanders is not the nominee, will he stay in the Democratic Party forever now,” Bloomberg Politics’ Mark Halperin asked.

“Well, he is a Democrat. He’s said he’s a Democrat, and he’s gonna be [supporting] the Democratic nominee, whoever that is,” Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told Bloomberg Politics’ “With All Due Respect.”
