President Biden and members of his inner circle have reassured allies in recent days that he plans to run for reelection in 2024, as they take steps to deflect concern about the 79-year-old president’s commitment to another campaign and growing Democratic fears of a coming Republican return to power.
The efforts come as the broader Democratic community has become increasingly anxious after a bruising six-month stretch that has seen Biden’s national approval rating plummet more than a dozen points, into the low 40s, amid growing concerns about inflation, Democratic infighting in Washington and faltering public health efforts to move beyond the covid-19 pandemic.
The message is aimed in part at tamping down the assumption among many Democrats that Biden may not seek reelection given his age and waning popularity, while also effectively freezing the field for Vice President Harris and other potential presidential hopefuls.
“The only thing I’ve heard him say is he’s planning on running again,” said former senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), a Biden friend. “And I’m glad he is.”
At a virtual fundraiser this month, Biden told a small group of donors that he plans to seek a second term, underscoring the message he gave the nation in March at his first White House news conference before cautioning that he had “never been able to plan 3½, four years ahead, for certain.”
“What he is saying publicly is what he firmly believes. There’s no difference,” said former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell, who attended the fundraising event. “He will not run if he feels he can’t do the job physically or emotionally.”
But interviews with 28 Democratic strategists and officials, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak more frankly, show that the assurances have not stopped the internal debate over whether Biden will appear on...

Running for what?
Or as Gutfeld put it last night, ‘Biden tells allies he is running in 2024, or as he calls it ‘1982’.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! HE ISN;T RUNNING ANYWHERE EXCEPT TO THE BATHROOM!
By 2024, Poopypantsjoe won’t have a functioning synapse in his skull. So a lot of Demonicrat voters will identify with him.
He’s already got his Death Mask on, with that weird Conrad Veidt grin from ear to ear.
Black-hearted and vile is the man behind that grin.
“....Biden’s national approval rating plummet more than a dozen points, into the low 40s....”
It took three guys to write this drivel? Hey WaPo, you wish Biden’s approval was that high.
Why wouldn’t he? He didn’t run the last time. He has the vote fraud infrastructure cemented in place? Amnesty of some sort will occurs. He wins.
LOL -- nailed it! That is one creepy look! (Joe's - not The Man Who Laughs...)
He’ll be lucky to live that long.
Which Joe is running again?
Should we take up a collection here at Good Old FR and send it to the Biden for President 2024 Campaign?
Anything that would encourage Biden to undertake such a suicide mission is worth encouraging and supporting.
😏😏😏
So the rats fear China Zhao biden is going to run again?? Or that China Zhao won’t run?
HAHAHA, Which of his idiot associates is going to put on the stage show where he gets to stay in the fake oval office, not the real one, for his play dates.
ROTFL! This must be a ploy by whoever’s in charge.
The Man Who Laughs .. yes, that’s the title my Memory Lock Box wouldn’t let go of in time. Creepy is right. That’s our Joe.
Joe shouldn’t run for anything. The last time he tried running he tripped up the stairs of Air Force One.
Funny.
Biden did say during the campaign “I am running for the United States Senate.” Years ago that was true, actually. Not in today’s reality for sane people, though.
When Biden reassures us he is running for Prez again, why do I not feel reassured? Must be me.
Running or “On the run”?
