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.

Yeah, and Woodrow Wilson was going to run for a third term in 1920. Back then you could still do such things. Hell, FDR ran for a FOURTH term, and he knew he was dying.

Joe Biden will be doing good to make it to Christmas 2022. Already the lamest duck in North America.

He needs the Easter Bunny to help him off stage. He will never make it!

Sad, but he is an evil, vengeful man. No tears for him.

Someone needs to tell Joe that the President becomes the leader of the party, and he doesn’t need to seek approval from a former President. There was the Reagan wing of the Republican Party, then the Bush wing, and the Trump wing.

For the Democrats, there was no Carter wing, but there was a Clinton wing and an Obama wing.

For someone he has talked tough his whole life, he sure rolls over easy when it comes to time to kissing Obama’s butt.

Ther will be no Biden wing

Well, he has to say that, doesn’t he?

Exactly. I would be shocked if he announced that he is not running until sometime next year, when the other democrats will start announcing their campaigns.

No one believes that he would be capable of serving another term. Most people know that he is not capable of completing his first term. But because he is a democrat, the media will continue to play along.

I have my doubts he can survive his current term. Biden is increasingly confused, has a dazed look about him and needs constant handlers even in bunny suits to lead him around and keep him from making a bigger fool of himself. However, who can the Democrats run in 2024 when Joe goes to some memory care facility in Delaware? Look at the gaggle of Democratic candidates competing in the 2020 race. None of them had any real chance of being elected on their own merits. The new leadership of the party like the squad have no prayer of getting elected given the county’s dissatisfaction with Biden’s radical policies.

This guy actually believes he got 80+ million LEGAL votes. Imagine the things that will be leaked from the laptop in the next few months.

And, if he dies of old age or Alzheimer’s on the campaign trail, the Democrats can pull a Carnahan, hold a funerally and get Jill in office with an unconstitutional sympathy vote.
