Trouble is on the horizon for Biden.
Another lawmaker has indicated he may challenge President Joe Biden for the Democrat nomination in 2024.
Bernie Sanders (Vt.) an Independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats, mounted his first presidential campaign as a Democrat in the 2016 general election, ultimately losing the party’s nomination to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He ran again in the 2020 election but ultimately suspended his campaign before the primaries concluded.
On Tuesday, during an interview with CBS Mornings, the Senator was asked if he planned to run for president in the next election. While Sen Sander left the option open he noted his primary concern is helping other progressives get elected.
“That’s a big — you know, I haven’t made that decision,” Sanders said.
The 81-year-old politician also touched on the elephant in the room-his age and the overall concern of aging politicians running for office, according to The Hill.
“Look, this is what I think. You can’t categorize everybody. You’re different than everybody, you know. We’re all different. We’ve got to look at the individual. But what I think we do, guys, is we look too much at race, at gender, at age. What does somebody stand for? What are their views? Do you agree with them?” Sanders said on CBS.
“And obviously you want people who are competent, capable, have the energy — I mean, my god, to be president of the United States requires an enormous amount of energy — but I would say, first of all, take a look at what people stand for. And we don’t do that enough. We’re too much into personality.”
Senator Sanders isn’t the first lawmaker to signal an interest in throwing his hat in the ring in 2024.
Recently, sources close to California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) revealed he “unequivocally” plans to run for president if Biden bows out. (RELATED: Sources: Gavin Newsom Will ‘Unequivocally’ Run for President in 2024)

“but I would say, first of all, take a look at what people stand for. And we don’t do that enough. We’re too much into personality.”
