A photo of independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders sitting alone at President Biden’s inauguration went viral on social media Wednesday.
The photo shows the former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, clad in winter clothes and a mask, sitting in a socially distant crowd watching Biden’s inauguration.
The official Twitter account for “People for Bernie,” a grassroots movement in support of the former presidential candidate, tweeted out the photo and called for a “caption contest.”
