Biden has told Obama he’s running again

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.

He’s thinking Why not - it was so easy the last time. All he had to do was sit in his basement in Delaware and Marc Elias took care of the rest.

Bet Creepy Joe gets at least 100 million votes in 2024, even if he’s in a coma.

If the report is true literally (i.e., Biden said it) or as things turn out (mighty big IF, especially considering how the 2022 elections will change the landscape), then be prepared for a return of Covid lockdowns to justify vote by mail, a handful of tiny Biden campaign events with 20 in attendance, etc. Biden lacks the stamina to run a normal candidacy, and “the largest election fraud operation in history” would have to be unleashed.

If he’s going to be running in 2024, let’s hope he’s got someone around him to tie his shoelaces. He certainly won’t be able to do it.

“let’s hope he’s got someone around him to tie his shoelaces.”

I expect he already does.

Biden views himself as a tough, straight up guy. In reality, he is a slimy weasel.

How soon we forget the FACTS. Clyburn rigged S. Carolina at the behest of the party insiders because Bernie was about to win the nomination and they could simply not have that.

His new running mate will likely be the bunny that helped him find his way at the WH Easter egg hunt.

Then, we will all truly be ‘down the rabbit hole.’

Will the Easter Bunny still be his chief of staff?

Who cares what anyone tells foreign born Obozo? Is this important because Obozo is a protege’ of Soros? Neither of these losers have done anything for the American Nation other than get rich.

April Fools Day came and passed 18 days ago. Why would anyone quote ANYTHING the man says? He couldn’t tell anyone what he said 2 minutes ago. WATCH - he will deny that he ever said such a thing and his wife will be by his side smiling!!
