Sanders says he likely won't run again for re-election to Senate

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said in an interview that he likely won’t run again for the Senate after his next term expires in 2030.

“I’m 83 now. I’ll be 89 when I get out of here. You can do the figuring. I don’t know, but I would assume, probably, yes,” Sanders, who won a fourth 6-year term in the Senate in November, told Politico.

Sanders, a progressive who caucuses in the Senate with Democrats, ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020.
