“Bernie’s hair is in place. (I’m an equal opportunity fashion commentator.)” the Washington Examiner‘s David Drucker observed.

The new style was dubbed an “ambush makeover” by another observer.

“Bernie combs his hair for first time in a year and Andy Yang can’t even wear a tie…” the Washington Free Beacon‘s Brent Scher quipped.
