In a recent interview, Washington Post reporter Jonathan Capehart asked Franken if he would ever run for office again.

“I don’t know,” Franken answered. “I certainly loved my time in the Senate. I loved the job. I got a lot done. I was able to accomplish things I couldn’t accomplish anywhere else, I don’t think. So, yeah, it would be tempting to try to do that again.”

“At some point?” Capeheart asked.

Franken responded, “Perhaps. I’m only 70.” Franken then noted that Republican Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is also running for re-election at 88 years old.
