I know that he is saying that he is now a Democrat. But has he formally informed the Senate about this? He is still listed as an independent on roll call votes:

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=114&session=2&vote=00005

His Senate seat is up for reelection in two years. If he doesn't get elected President, will he actually run for reelection as a Democrat?
