Bernie Sanders says 2020 run is possible: ‘I am not taking it off the table’
During an interview for Thursday’s episode of SiriusXM Progress’s Make It Plain with Mark Thompson, Bernie Sanders admitted that he had not ruled out the possibility of making another run for the presidency.
“I am not taking it off the table,” Sanders said. “I just have not made any decisions.”
He was quick to add, however, “I think it’s much too early.”
On election day 2020, Sanders would be 79 years old, so if he won, he would be the oldest person to ever hold the highest office in the land.

Sanders also spoke about the recent revelations about Donald Trump Jr. Trump Jr. recently took to Twitter to release emails related to a meeting that he set up with a Kremlin-linked lawyer in order to get “damaging” information about Hillary Clinton to harm her campaign during the 2016 presidential election.
Sanders said that the emails and the controversy were a “very damaging piece of evidence” and said that those who were hoping to see Trump and his campaign face a reckoning for their behavior should be patient and trust in Robert Mueller to “get to the root” of things.
“I don’t want to jump the gun,” Sanders aid. “But…to me, this is pretty clearly a damaging revelation.”
