Bernie Sanders is not running to be majority leader, but also Bernie Sanders clearly still has the fight in him, and there's no reason for him to stop right now. If you watch the press conference this article is about, not only is he completely right, but he also presented this with Senator Elissa Slotkin, who is 50. Senator Jon Ossoff is 39. New Senators include Abdul El-Sayed, 42, Annie Andrews, 46, James Talarico, 37, and probably Scott Colom, 43.

Republicans win with the oldest senator, Chuck Grassley, 93, and the most vegetative senator, Mitch McConnell, 84.

    I know he isn't running for leadership ... what I'm point out is that your leadership and even your spokespeople have to always be old people in positions of power ... and it's OK to have older wiser people in power but over the past few decades that idea has become farcical because you are being led by a government of 70 and 80 year olds
