Kamala Harris emerges victorious in Vermont as Sanders and Balint claim landslide wins

Vermonters overwhelming voted for Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to be the next president and vice president in the recent election. The Associated Press called the race in Vermont for the Democratic ticket shortly after polls closed. Even Vermont’s Republican Governor Phil Scott voted for Harris. Bernie Sanders was also reelected to a fourth term as U.S. Senator, showing his continued popularity in the state. Sanders remains a progressive icon and champion of issues like income inequality, health care reform, and climate policies. First-term U.S. Representative Becca Balint easily won a second term as Vermont’s sole member of the House. Balint, the first woman Vermont ever elected to Congress, voiced support for ending the war in Gaza, protecting reproductive rights, addressing climate change, and campaign finance reform during her campaign. Her opponent, Mark Coester, struggled to express his positions on key issues. The election results in Vermont reflect the state’s continued support for progressive candidates and policies. As the nation awaits the final election results, Vermont has set a clear example of its values and priorities through the election outcomes.
