Is Bernie Sanders, the nominally Independent Vermont Senator, already laying the groundwork for a third run for the presidency? According to the Washington Post, Sen. Sanders – who has previously said a third run would be “very very unlikely” – is already laying the groundwork, as he has notified several related organizations that he would run again if President Biden doesn’t pursue another term.
In the event of an “open” Democratic Primary in 2024, Sanders “has not ruled out another run”, according to one particularly telling passage from the memo.
“In the event of an open 2024 Democratic presidential primary, Sen. Sanders has not ruled out another run for president, so we advise that you answer any questions about 2024 with that in mind,” read a memo from Faiz Shakir, a close Sanders adviser who was his campaign manager when he ran in 2020.
A Sanders spokesman said that the leak of the memo was “frustrating” but nevertheless hinted that a third Sanders presidential run might be in the cards.
