Joe Biden is still open to the possibility of running again for another term. According to his handlers, he has indicated that he will run while still allowing for the possibility of other circumstances. When the president himself has spoken on it, he’s been even vaguer, mentioning his health and suggesting that Donald Trump possibly running again would be a deciding factor. It has not been easy to get a firm commitment.
The Hill claims that Biden, however, has pledged to stay in the game. The president made those comments to Barack Obama during the latter’s recent White House comeback tour.
The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has spoken to former Barack ObamaAccording to two sources, he intends to run in the 2024 election for reelection.
It is possible to apply for admission at Obama is the latest indication that Biden is likely to run for a second term, something the president has spoken about publicly.
During a press conference in Brussels last month, he told reporters he’d be “very fortunate” to run against his rival in the 2020 election, former President Trump…
…“I believe he thinks he’s the only one who can beat Trump. I don’t think he thinks there’s anyone in the Democratic party who can beat Trump and that’s the biggest factor,” the source familiar with the Obama–BidenTalks held.
This is a question I have for you. Did Obama think this was a way to see if Biden believed he would be able to run with an approval rating of 82 years old, which is likely below 40? Or did the current president share his delusion voluntarily, continuing to believe he’s got some special power when it comes to “beating” Donald Trump?
What if Trump isn’t the GOP nominee, though? Biden is likely to bow down gracefully. The problem is that he can’t know who the nominee will be until the primary season is over, which means he will have already committed himself to the general election. All this Trump-mania is absurd. It’s letting a factor dictate a decision that can’t be known until after the decision has to be made. Further, the idea that the 2024 election will once again be a referendum on Trump and not, you know, Biden’s failed presidency, is galaxy-brain stuff.
Either way, it’s insane to think that a guy who has to be herded by the Easter Bunny and told when to wave by his wife is going to actually run a presidential campaign in two years. Yet, nothing about Biden’s current situation says he’s a rational actor, so I suppose it’s not that crazy that he’d think he’s capable of giving it another go despite his senility.
But then there’s the other side of this, which is that the Democrats don’t have much choice. Even though he is a standing corpse, Biden outpolls Kamala Harris who may be the least liked and most ill-prepared major politician of modern history. Her charismatic charm makes Hillary Clinton appear charming. Democrats remain stuck with Harris and, if Biden is pinch-hit, defeat will be almost certain.
Harris’ reaction is the final question. Is she going to sit back and watch, or will Harris start an offensive behind the scenes in order to stop Biden from getting involved? I’m going with the second choice. The vice president is known for his penchant to fight the White House.
No matter how this plays out, it’s going to be fun to watch. Democrats currently find themselves in the most difficult political situation in many decades. That will manifest first in 2022, but the years after don’t promise to be any better for the Biden administration and his party. That a will-be 82-year-old man with clear signs of dementia is actually committing to run for re-election to the highest office in the land is just hilarious…and nuts.
