  • “Bernie Baby,” the four-month-old baby dressed up to resemble Bernie Sanders at a political rally, died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) on February 25.

    Oliver Jack Carter Lomas-Davis was Bernie Baby. His aunt confirmed his passing in an interview with the Associated Press.

    Bernie Baby quickly became an internet sensation when photos of him wearing a messy white wig and black rimmed glasses were shared online. He met Bernie Sanders at a rally in Los Angeles.
