Weaver said, “When the time comes I think we’ll have an answer to that. But right now he’s still considering it.”

Senator Sanders tweeted last week his plan to run for reelection to maintain his seat in the Senate.

I have some important news to share, and I wanted you to hear it from me: Today, I am announcing my intention to run for re-election to the United States Senate in 2018. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) May 21, 2018

He followed up his announcement by tweeting, “These are frightening and unprecedented times. We have a president who is not only a pathological liar, but someone who is trying to win votes by dividing our nation up based on the color of our skin, our country of origin, our religion, our gender or our sexual orientation.”

But being anti-Trump and anti-Republican is not enough. We need to continue our fight for a progressive agenda which will take on oligarchy, and improve the lives of working people throughout our country. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) May 21, 2018



Sanders had a large following during the 2016 primaries, but ultimately lost the nomination to Hillary Clinton. There are expected be more candidates fighting for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
