Maybe they’ll move the Fountain of Youth to the Rose Garden.
Sen. Bernie Sanders threw his hat into the presidential ring on Tuesday, becoming the latest 70-something candidate or potential candidate to pursue the White House in 2020.
The 77-year-old enters the race as one of the front-runners — and the most senior of a crop of five septuagenarians running or considering a bid. All would be over 70 when they’re sworn in on Jan. 20,2021. Sanders would be 79, Joe Biden, 78, Michael Bloomberg, 78, Elizabeth Warren, 71, and President Trump,74.
Biden, Bloomberg and Sanders would all be older than Ronald Reagan was when he began his second term in 1985 at 73 — the oldest person ever to take the oath of office.
