If Sanders ran for office and won, he’d be 87 by the time he finished his first term. Subsequently, if the Vermont lawmaker ran for the White House again and won a second term, he’d be 91 by the time his term ended in 2032.
As the 2024 presidential election gets closer, some folks, such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk, have suggested age limits for candidates seeking public office.

Whether or not Bernie Sanders actually does make another run for the presidency remains to be seen.
However, Biden’s eagerness, so far, for a second term doesn’t mesh with the reality of his presidency. The sitting president’s average disapproval mark stands at 52%, for one thing.
At the same time, pluralities of Americans oppose Biden’s oversight of foreign policy, inflation, the general economy, and more.
Also, former President Trump’s approval ratings during this time in his presidency were higher than where Biden’s currently stand. Several different polls that display a hypothetical Trump vs. Biden rematch likewise show the former in the lead.
