Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) gave what many political analysts are calling a “revealing” answer when asked about his thoughts on potentially running for president once again in 2028.

Sanders, 83, previously launched White House bids that caused significant issues for the Democratic Party establishment in 2016 and 2020. The party generated major controversy by changing its super delegate policy as Sanders’ campaign was gaining steam in a move that is widely believed to have benefited former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The 2020 Democratic Party primary was also not without controversy, as every candidate with the exception of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) bowed out of the race and endorsed Joe Biden ahead of the South Carolina primary contest.

Still, Sanders has maintained his popularity with the progressive left and has continued to cultivate his national image with his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, a nationwide speaking tour that has included guest appearances from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and other progressive power players. Given Sanders’ continued presence on the national stage and popularity among a key faction within the Democratic Party base, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Sanders whether he still has any plans to run for president in 2028 during Sunday’s edition of “State of the Union.”

“Let’s not worry about that,” the longtime senator said. “I am going to be 84 years of age next month, as a matter of fact. I think that speaks for itself.”
