The Hill talked to a source close to the Vermont senator:
“He thinks he’s earned the right to run again and he believes if he would have been the [Democratic] candidate he would have won against Trump.”
“The last thing he’s going to do is step aside and let Joe Biden take it,” the Sanders associate said.
You mean run in the Democratic primary to try to be the nominee? https://t.co/FpdxdbQUH2

The idea was not popular at all with potential Democratic voters.
I voted for Bernie in the primary and I don't want him to do this. We need new candidates. Young candidates. https://t.co/DiaNyfbFWb

Oh and let’s not forget that his wife is under FBI investigation for bank fraud.
Sit down Bernie Sanders and take care of your FBI investigation for bank fraud! https://t.co/wOQ0i5leB9

Then again, an FBI investigation would be standard operating procedure for Democratic presidential candidates.
