Joe Biden has longed to win the White House for more than three decades. If he finally makes it there after Novembers election, hes already talking about leaving.
In an effort to ease concerns about his age, the 77-year-old presumptive Democratic nominee has said he wouldnt seek re-election if his mental or physical health declined. He has also referred to himself as a transition candidate, acting as a bridge to a younger generation of leadership. [ ]
[T]he question of his long-term prospects looms over his candidacy, especially as he considers his options for vice president.
While someone like Elizabeth Warren could broaden Bidens appeal among progressives, the 70-year-old Massachusetts senator wouldnt be the face of a new generation many in the party are seeking. That might be an advantage for younger contenders, such as California Sen. Kamala Harris, 55, or Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, 59.
Its an awkward dynamic for Biden, whose lead in the Democratic primary coincided with the onset of a pandemic, making it harder to establish himself as the partys unquestioned leader. He can ill afford chatter about who might succeed him when he still faces a competitive race against President Donald Trump in the fall.

IF he were to win, he’d serve six months tops before he’s forced to resign.
This why I believe the DNC will either tell Joe who the VP selection is, or at the very least, they’ll have veto power over it.
Looking like hell pick Demings. Tough luck for Black Lives Matter.
The article is ridiculous in that it entertains in a serious tone the idea of Joe Biden running in 2024. The dementia-addled old coot isn’t a functional candidate NOW. Can you imagine what a hapless bowl of jello he’d be in 4 years?!
Why bother to print such ridiculous lies?
the partys unquestioned leader.
Joe? Joe?? Joe??? JOE!!!
He’s unquestioned because there isn’t any point!
Even IF he won, the DNC cans still replace him anytime before the Electors meet on Dec 14
He wont serve at all because he wont be elected.
Ill go with six HOURS.
... making it harder to establish himself as the partys unquestioned leader.
LOL...On the best day of his life, he wasnt a leader. One of a hundred in the Senate. Second fiddle to Obama. Nothing but political gobbledygook and jargon out of his mouth for decades. Plagiarist. Flip-flopping on issues for decades like straw in the wind.
Unquestioned leader? Ha! He doesnt even qualify for putative leader.
Sad thing is, what would the AP print if they couldn’t find lies to print? They surely couldn’t resort to printing the actual news at this point, could they.
Looking like hell pick Demings.”
Who?
Who would be running your country....unelected bureaucrats in the hands of crooked lobbyists and politicians....
Vote for your country, Vote for President Trump.
Joe is ONLY a place holder for Hitlery.
Where are you getting this info?
How glowingly the AP writes of an accused sexual assaulter-er just because he has a D after his name.
Oh yeah. There's a winning formula.
