The guy IS running for re-election in November….
BUT?
He seems to be working to either help his party for the upcoming midterms or, more so, to win the 2024 Democratic Presidential nomination…
Slowly
He IS commanding MORE headlines than Democratic President Biden, who a majority of Democrats do NOT want him to run for a second term….

He’s just NOT THAT guy…
