Sen. Bernie Sanders to seek reelection to fourth term

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) announced Monday that he is running for reelection this year, ending months of speculation over whether the second-oldest member of the Senate would retire or seek a fourth term.

In a statement, Sanders, 82, called the November election — which could also include a rematch between presumptive nominees President Biden and former president Donald Trump — “the most important national election in our lifetimes.”
