Key Takeaways — Vermont

Harris won Vermont by +29 in 2024 (63.0% vs 34.0%) — Safe D; Vermont hasn't voted Republican for president since 1988 and produces the largest Democratic margins of any predominantly rural state in America
Bernie Sanders has represented Vermont since 1991 — the only democratic socialist in Congress, his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns moved the entire Democratic Party's economic conversation leftward on healthcare, student debt, and corporate power
Phil Scott (R) is Vermont's governor — a moderate Republican who has won four consecutive terms in one of the bluest presidential states in the country; his success is a master class in ticket-splitting and governing on personality over party ideology
Vermont has no Senate race in 2026; it punches above its weight as a political laboratory — first state to legalize same-sex civil unions (2000), early marijuana legalization, and the origin of the national single-payer healthcare debate under Sanders
