President Joe Biden was asked about the chances that he will run for re-election in 2024 and managed to give himself a noteworthy bit of wiggle room by mentioning his own health which, of course, might be a factor that you might imagine would have some bearing on whether or not he will seek a second term.
ABC News’ “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir asked the president on Wednesday night if he plans to run for re-election, to which Biden replied, “Yes.”
However, he added that he is nonetheless “a great respecter of fate” and this would depend on his health.
“Fate has intervened in my life many, many times,” Biden said. “If I’m in the health I’m in now — if I’m in good health, then, in fact, I would run again.”
This is a rather interesting comment, considering the president previously told Muir that he “absolutely” planned on remaining in office for eight years, as WLS-TV noted.
Has he just now suggested that, should his health deteriorate, he might not ultimately seek a second term? You’d think that the fact that the oldest sitting president in U.S. history just mentioned he would run if he’s in the health he is in now would warrant quite a lot of attention and media speculation.

Oh hell, EVERYBODY noticed.
In the beginning, Biden said he would be a one term President.
We noticed, he will not run again.
What happened? Did he krap his pants in front of the pope or something?
Why does anyone believe anything Biden says?
What is interesting here is he credits fate, not God.
Oh great.
CBS: Kamala what do you think the biggest security threat there is to the country?
KAMALA: “Frankly, one of them is our democracy”
I don’t think he should in office now.
"Biden said he would be a one term President."
Wonder what they're conjuring up for the State of the Union.
Will Nancy tear up his speech? Now THAT was a Coup!!
Flatlinejoe lies even when he's flatline.
Why are people wasting their time with this? He’s not running again. Obama will pick someone else.
This is a coup.
that demented fool couldnt run if he was being shot at!!!
Yup, everybody with two brain cells to rub together noticed. It made some people feel better because we more-or-less know he will not run. His quip about wanting to run against Trump was just smack. He is done at nearly 80 and knows it.
Not only is it a wonder he is still alive, it is a miracle of sorts but why I can’t understand.
He is a sick old man and will not make three more years unless he is carried and propped up even more than he is now. His support for that is faltering from what I can see of the upcoming evacuation of staffers. Sure, the hard core will be there but the rest, not so much.
I beg you, and everyone else, to start spelling it “hoe” for correct pronunciation.
This is meaningless. These people will do whatever suits them at the time.
And who is stupid enough to think ANYTHING this clown says has one iota of truth in it?
This is just circle-jerking in the pundit class.
