<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bernie-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bernie Sanders</a> (I-VT) says he will not run another campaign for president in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 cycle</a> and will instead support President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s re-election effort.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m in to do what I can to make sure that the president is re-elected,&#8221; Sanders <a href="https://apnews.com/article/bernie-sanders-biden-endorsement-2024-d8f0772b117e2bf83e1062708ea651c0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told the Associated Press</a> on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, ran as a candidate in the Democratic Party&#8217;s last two presidential primary contests, giving Hillary Clinton a run for her money in 2016 right up until the convention and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-on-bernie-dropping-out-we-all-know-who-to-thank-and-why-this-actually-happened" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bowing out to Biden</a> after he failed to gain similar momentum in 2020.</p>
<p>The senator publicly eschewed a third run in a row hours after Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-makes-reelection-bid-official-at-age-80" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formally announced</a> his re-election campaign.</p>
<p>“Running for president was a wonderful privilege,” Sanders said. “I enjoyed it very much and I hope we had some impact on the nature of American politics. But right now, my job is to do what I can as chairman of the (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) committee, to see Biden get reelected and to see what I can do to help transform policy in America to help protect the needs of workers.”</p>
<p>So far, Biden faces declared candidates in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/robert-f-kennedy-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</a> and self-help author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marianne-williamson-launches-another-bid-for-president-as-a-democrat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marianne Williamson,</a> both of whom have been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-challengers-rage-over-lack-of-2024-dem-debates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling foul</a> over the absence of planned debates and the Democratic National Committee choosing to fiddle with the nominating state schedule.</p>
<p>Sanders expressed the view that the challengers won&#8217;t be able to overcome the incumbent.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;And my job, and I think the progressive movement’s job, is to make certain that he stands up and fights for the working class of this country and does not take anything for granted.&#8221;</p>

<p>Already the oldest person to be president at 80, Biden would be 86 at the end of a second term. Sanders is a bit older, at 81. He <a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-ap-top-news-us-news-las-vegas-nevada-fcec4d5e82844672b3e330535506135f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suffered a heart attack</a> the last time he ran for president.</p>
<p>A mere 26% of Americans and 47% of Democrats want Biden to run again, according to a recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll. The <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-poll-2024-white-house-economy-873663f6e3cbca8f2dae2f018c8be9d3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">same poll</a> found 78% of Democrats say they approve of Biden&#8217;s job performance, and 81% said they would at least probably support Biden if he becomes the nominee in the general election.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reacts-to-tucker-carlson-ouster-dishes-on-rivalry-with-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Republican side</a>, 76-year-old former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> is seeking re-election and is generally leading GOP primary polls by wide margins.</p>
<p>Facing the prospect of a 2020 general election rematch, Sanders warned Trump being re-elected to office would be detrimental to the United States.</p>
<p>“The last thing this country needs is a Donald Trump or some other right-wing demagogue who is going to try to undermine American democracy or take away a woman’s right to choose, or not address the crisis of gun violence, or racism, sexism or homophobia,” he said.</p>
