Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) this week said the odds of him launching a third presidential campaign are “very, very slim” after suspending his current campaign last month and endorsing Joe Biden.

Speaking at a live-streamed Washington Post event on May 11, Sanders was asked whether he’d consider a third consecutive presidential run in 2024, but confirmed the chances of it happening are highly unlikely.
