The left-liberal US politician Bernie Sanders wants to run for a fourth term as senator in November. The Democrat announced this in a video. The 82-year-old said that the election in November was “the most consequential one we have ever experienced.”
For his re-candidacy, Sanders raised the question of whether the United States could “continue to function as a democracy” or whether the country would transition to an “authoritarian form of government.” Another question is whether the United States can overcome “unprecedented income and wealth inequality.”
Since 2007, Sanders has represented the US state of Vermont as an independent senator, but belongs to the Democratic faction. In 2016 and 2020 he applied for the US presidential candidacy. In the first attempt he lost to Hillary Clinton. Four years later, after initial success, he threw his support behind current President Joe Biden, who was leading in the primaries.
