In 2016, he ran for president — first for the Democratic nomination and then as an independent in the general. That same year, he ran in the Democratic primary for Florida Senate. In 2017, he attempted to run for New York mayor but was removed from the ballot after he fell short of the required signature count following a legal challenge from his primary opponent.

But in 2018 he really went for it, running for Senate in seven Republican primaries and the California and Washington open primaries. Constitutionally, this is totally fine.
