Sen. Bernie Sanders had a strong reaction to a particular question during an interview.
The Vermont senator became noticeably irritated and quickly ended an interview when asked about whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should run for the Senate.

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, 83, asked Sanders if he would like to see his political ally Ocasio-Cortez join him in the Senate, after Sanders had praised the Congresswoman for her work on progressive issues.
Though the question did not directly reference the topic, there was significant speculation surrounding whether Ocasio-Cortez might challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in his reelection bid for 2028.
Sanders responded curtly, saying, “Right now we have, as I said, just a whole lot of people in the Congress. OK, Jonathan, thanks,” before attempting to end the pre-recorded interview on ABC’s “This Week.”
He then quickly stood up, visibly frustrated, and walked out of the camera frame.
Karl, realizing he had struck a nerve, asked, “Wait, I got one more — I got one more. This is an important question.”
“No, you wanna do nonsense. Do nonsense,” Sanders retorted, clearly agitated. “I don’t want to talk about inside-the-beltway stuff. I got 32,000 people [at my rallies].”
Karl, still out of Sanders’ sight, attempted to explain that he had brought up Ocasio-Cortez because she had been accompanying Sanders at rallies across the country.
After a brief moment, Sanders, still clearly not pleased, agreed to sit back down to address Karl’s final question.
That last question asked whether Sanders was considering another presidential run, given the large crowds he had attracted during his recent “Fighting the Oligarchy Tour” with Ocasio-Cortez.
“I’m very proud that the people of the state of Vermont sent me back to the Senate with 63% of the vote,” Sanders said. “I’m Vermont’s senator. That’s what I do. And I’m very happy to do it. I am 83 years of age. And I’m tired.”
Having been reelected in November for a fourth term, Sanders, 83, will not face reelection until 2030, when he will be 89. Currently, he is the second-oldest member of the Senate, after 91-year-old Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
Sanders, alongside Ocasio-Cortez, has held rallies in multiple cities, including Las Vegas, Denver, and Arizona, to rally opposition to President Trump.
These events have attracted large crowds, similar to the energy Sanders experienced during his unsuccessful presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020.
Reflecting on his time in Congress, Sanders recalled, “When I first came to the Congress in the House, I helped form the Progressive Caucus. We had five people in it at that time,” he shared on ABC’s “This Week.” “Now they have close to 100.
“You got a whole lot of good people. Alexandria is extraordinary. I am so impressed by her work in Congress and her — just, she inspires young people all over the country.”
