Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. — who just won re-election to another six-year Senate term last month — has said that his upcoming term 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,” Sanders said when asked if his fourth term will be his final term, according to Politico.
Fox News Digital reached out to Sanders’ office to request comment from the senator.

Sanders unloaded on the Democratic Party after President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the presidential contest last month.
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well,” Sanders declared.
“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” he asked.

Sen. Bernie Sanders says upcoming term will ‘probably’ be his last”Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing?
