President Biden has told former President Obama that he is planning to run for reelection in 2024, two sources tell The Hill.
The admission to 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.
“[Biden] wants to run and he’s clearly letting everyone know,” said one of the two sources familiar with the conversations between Obama and Biden.
The source also said that Biden, despite his faltering approval ratings, remains the most likely Democratic candidate to defeat Trump. This was a key part of Biden’s salesmanship to voters as he sought support for this 2020 bid — and a big reason primary voters rallied to him in South Carolina and “Super Tuesday” states where he sealed his status as the Democratic frontrunner.
“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-Biden talks said.
Biden and Obama had lunch together earlier this month, but it is unclear exactly when the two discussed 2024.

Well, he has to say that, doesn’t he? If he says otherwise, he would be the lamest lame duck in history.
Maybe he wanted Obama to change him.
You can just see Obama laughing and rolling his eyes.
Diarrhea
If you ever wondered what Propaganda looks like, this article is it.
“I’m telling you Barack! I’m rested and ready. 1924 can’t get here fast enough!”
“Well, he has to say that, doesn’t he?”
Guess so but the Democrats will want to pick the person most likely to be elected.
Good..... He can run but he can’t get nominated
Obama’s response: Do you think you will live that long?
Pretty sure Biden could not even run, he has enough trouble climbing stairs
the GOP will continue to support Biden and ObamaCARE,
as their voters scream to remove both.
the GOP will laugh, as always.
Of course they didn’t let him finish his sentence: “I’m running to get a second serving of pudding before my nap.”
As fhayek says, biden has got to say that, or he’s a lame duck. Running just means that he wants to be the candidate. There’s the little matter of the primary. The democrat party decides who’s going to be chosen in the primary. I doubt it will be biden.
This article makes it obvious who’s ring is to be kissed in that party...
Biden also told Obama he saw a huge bunny rabbit that really scared him!
“President Biden has told former President Obama that he is planning to run for reelection in 2024, two sources tell The Hill.”
Even if Joe said this, it means nothing until the Easter Bunny confirms it.
If this would actually come about it would be a great thing for Republicans. It might even help some of us forget what a disappointment most Republican candidates are.
