Sen. Bernie Sanders, former presidential candidate and leader of the progressive movement in the United States for decades, said his term starting in January would likely be his last in an interview with POLITICO.
Sanders (I-Vt.) won reelection in November and has six more years in the Senate ahead of him.
When asked whether his fourth Senate term would be his last, Sanders said: “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 has been in Congress since 1991. He served eight House terms before winning election to the Senate in 2006, and though he has long touted his independence from party affiliation, he was a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020. He was runner-up both times.

Naw, he needs a few bazillion more and a couple more waterfront mansions.
Guess he’s figured out he won’t be getting any more houses...
Taking early retirement.
Maybe he wants another pricey house?
The day he goes away, this country will be a lot better off.
I knew an ardent fanatic Bernie-bot lady from a previous job and she was programmed well.
A true Senator...
Still won't commit...

Even if he makes 89, that will be almost too young to go.........
Sarcasm mode.
hmmmm. Well I’m sure my outlook is somewhat different, and definitely looking more towards short term prospects.
“Sen. Bernie Sanders, former presidential candidate and leader of the progressive movement in the United States for decades, said his term starting in January would likely be his last”
guess he finally accumulated all the houses he can use ...
The next Leftist to go out feet first and room temperature from the Senate.
A second after he dies he will very likely enter into a terrible future where he will immediately regret promoting darkness in a wasted life.
BETCHA HE NEVER SEES THE “END”.
He sees the writing on the wall. In the past competition by Democrats against Republicans was tight and his cadre of voters, whether he dropped out or not, actually mattered.
Now it seems he doesn’t matter and there’s no reason to buy him off with another vacation home or whatever.
Here comes Peter Shumlin.
Lyin’-a$$ commie.
He’s the poster boy for term limits.
