WASHINGTON ― Sen. Bernie Sanders stood up from his chair and tried to end an interview with ABC News when he was asked Sunday whether he would like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to join him in the U.S. Senate.

"Right now, we have, as I said, just a whole lot of people in the Congress. OK, Jonathan, thanks," Sanders, I-Vt., told ABC News' Jonathan Karl, as he got out of his seat, in response to a question about Ocasio-Cortez potentially running for the Senate.

"You want to do nonsense, do nonsense," Sanders added. "I don't want to talk about inside the Beltway stuff."

After getting up from his chair, Sanders returned to the interview seat and took one final question. He was asked by Karl whether he will run for president again.

"Right now, I'm Vermont's senator. That's what I do. And I'm very happy to do it," Sanders said. "I am 83 years of age, and I'm tired."
