I think Sander's knows he's too old for leadership at this point. The man he is proposing for Majority Leader is 67, which is still old, but only a little bit above the average for the Senate, and quite a few years younger than the 85-y-o Sanders.
In my country 67 years is currently the retirement age. Seems wild that, that would be just slightly above the average age for the senate.
Same in the US and it is wild.
