The 82-year-old Vermont independent is seeking a fourth term in the Senate.
WASHINGTON ― Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) announced on Monday his intention to seek reelection to a fourth term in the Senate, citing the threats to democracy at home and abroad.
The 82-year-old independent senator made the announcement in a video posted on X, formerly Twitter:
In the video, Sanders hit on familiar themes he has championed during his time in office, including doing more to address wealth inequality, climate change, health care, and abortion rights. He also called the 2024 presidential election “the most consequential election in our lifetimes.”
“Will the United States continue to even function as a democracy, or will we move to an authoritarian form of government?” Sanders asked.
Sanders currently serves as chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, where he has been focused on bringing down the cost of prescription drugs and expanding government support for seniors.
