Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., spent over $550,000 in 2025 on private jet travel for himself using campaign funds, a review of Federal Election Commission filings found. The majority of the spending came in the first two quarters, which cover up until July. Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., had a Fighting Oligarchy tour across the country, and Sanders’ campaign also spent big sums of campaign dollars at luxury and “boutique” hotels in states where the pair held their rallies.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez’s tour across the country was marked by luxury and extravagance, from private jets to boutique hotels.
The pair’s campaign spending habits have been called into question, with Sanders’ private jet travel costing over $550,000 in 2025 alone.
Ocasio-Cortez’s own campaign spending has also been scrutinized, with thousands of dollars spent on upscale hotels across the country.
It’s clear that the rhetoric of “socialism” and “climate change” doesn’t always translate to practical actions.
In hindsight, it’s obvious that the tour was more about performance than substance, with the pair using campaign funds to fund their luxurious lifestyle.
