Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., addressed whether he will run for president again in 2028 during an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“Let’s not worry about that,” he told host Dana Bash. “I am going to be 84 years of age next month, as a matter of fact. I think that speaks for itself.”
Sanders said that “what is more important” is educating, organizing and giving “working-class people an agenda” to understand that “we can, in fact, provide a decent standard of living for all our people.”
Bash suggested to Sanders that without leadership, a “very hungry, energized base with an idea of what they want” will not evoke change.
