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.

That confirms it Biden’s brain is dead.
Nah! Too white... and pink.
Go back to many of my posts and I have predicted Biden wins re-erection. I mean election. AND he will win in a landslide.
“He signed over 50 EO’s his first week alone.”
Glad you said “signed” instead of “issued”, because we know he didn’t author them.
Biden proposes but does not dispose. If he runs again it will be because the politburo has determined that that is what will do them the least damage.
That’s the best news the GOP will hear today.
Probably running to a country with no extradition treaty with the USA
has he even been elected to a first term yet?
To borrow Carlin’s line about Nixon:
“Biden is the perfect symbol for the country — looks like he hasn’t taken a s__t in a month — he’s just not a regular guy — every four years he gets the runs — ‘Look! He’s running again.’ ”
