Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the longtime progressive lawmaker who has twice sought the Democratic presidential nomination, suggested that the six-year Senate term he begins in January will likely be his last.
“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,” the independent senator from Vermont—who caucuses with Democrats—told Politico when asked if the upcoming term would be his last.
