What is Bernie Sanders-VT plan for 2024?

Sanders VT US Senate is up for re-election in 2024.
While Sanders has been a great public servant, he will be 83 years old when he is up for re-election in 2024 and VT currently has Republican Governor(Phil Scott). Scott is a popular Republican. VT does not have term limits for Governor. What is the policy to fill US Senate vacancies in VT?
Does Governor Scott appoint?
If Governor Scott appoints, Does he appoint from the same political party as Sanders(Independent that caucuses with Democrats.)?
Due to Sanders’s age and VT having a Republican Governor, Sanders should not seek re-election in 2024.
Vermont has another Progressive-Democratic statewide elected official- Lt Governor David Zuckerman. Zuckerman should be the Democratic nominee for the 2024 VT US Senate Election.
