Former Vice President Joe Biden has been signaling to aides that he would likely serve only one term in office if elected president in 2020, according to a report on Wednesday.
Campaign advisers and some top Democrats have been debating whether he should publicly announce his intention not to seek a second term, but Biden is concerned that going public could make him a lame duck and rob him of political capital, Politico reported.
If Biden is elected, a prominent adviser to the campaign told the news website, hes going to be 82 years old in four years and he wont be running for reelection.
Some believe that by Biden announcing his intentions and then selecting a young and diverse vice president and Cabinet, he could portray himself to Democratic voters as the candidate best suited to defeat President Trump and the candidate introducing fresh faces in the party.
This makes Biden a good transition figure, the adviser said. Id love to have an election this year for the next generation of leaders, but if I have to wait four years to get rid of Trump, Im willing to do it.
But by not announcing his one-term plan, Biden retains a trump card.

Saying? I picture him sitting in a corner of the white house trying to stack spaghetti sauce.
Haha! Brilliant!
Any Nation or people who would elect such as Joe Biden to rule them are beyond redemption. Although the people of the United States of America of America demanded , via their votes,fundamentally transform them and he did give it his best shot. obama had something Biden seriously lacks, intelligence.
Shhhhhhh.
We won’t tell anyone, Joe.
It’ll be our little secret.
Hunter could bring all his ‘hos and crack to the White House and serve out his old man’s second term. Of course he would still serve on Burisma’s board to pick up some spare change while doing it
Seriously. Someone needs to Baker Act this fool.
Joe, just stick with the lunch-bucket and don’t embarrass yourself any further. Your high office days are over man.
If he is somehow elected President, no way does he voluntarily decide not to run in 2024. If he did, he would be the first President to decline to run for re-election since Coolidge in 1928, and the first to do so after serving only one full term since the Civil War.
NO! The media, Leftists, anti-America types almost got her elected last time.
They will pull out all the stops in 2020 to put their gal in office.
We will see cheating, media manipulation, and complicit criminal activity like never before.
They are already preparing their narrative for Hillary 2020: "She was cheated out of the presidency in 2016. We need a woman president. Trump is evil. Hillary has done nothing wrong. Third time's a charm."
Like it or not, the media, Deep State Leftists in Washington, Hollywood, academia, big tech, and foreign interests still hold a lot of power in our country.
They will prop Hillary up and put her in office, illegitimately if they have to. And they will use the uninformed masses to do it.
Be careful what you hope for.
As if we can believe anything he says anyway ...
The Idiot Biden will say anything to try to get elected.
None of it will work.
We can see that he is an idiot.
Declined due to DNC pressure and daily lies told by Walter Cronkite and CBS.
The 2008 and 2012 elections were rigged to make sure we got the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
The GOP put up willing Designated Losers who took a dive.
Next he will be promising not to ejaculate in our oral orifice.
A week? I'd give that run about 2 minutes after his acceptance speech.
You could also ask John McCain... Well, nevermind.
