In the book, Dovere wrote that private air travel was a "revelation" to Sanders, who had flown commercially before his upstart presidential run in 2016 catapulted him to the national stage. A self-declared democratic socialist, Sanders has also expressed support for the "Green New Deal," an economic and environmental policy overhaul championed by progressives. The book detailed one incident in which Sanders allegedly shamed a hotel worker who couldn’t get his room to his preferred temperature. "Hotel rooms had to be away from elevators and from ice machines, so that quiet was guaranteed," Dovere wrote. Sanders’ preference for private air travel has drawn scrutiny in the past.
