An aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is already talking about his plans for a 2020 presidential run even though Sanders has yet to announce he’ll be a presidential candidate.

“This time, he starts off as a front-runner, or one of the front-runners,” Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ 2016 campaign manager, told the Associated Press. “It’ll be a much bigger campaign if he runs again, in terms of the size of the operation.”
