The story that he WAS discussing a ‘possibe’ run with family during the Thankgivings break coiuld have people thinking?…
But the President says Nope….
He’s just enjoying things after he’s back from traveling around the planet last week….
Biden said during a post-election press conference earlier this month that he intends to run for re-election, but added that he will make a final decision by early next year.
“I think everybody wants me to run, but we’re going to have discussions about it,” Biden said. “I hope Jill and I get a little time to sneak away for a week between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and my guess is it will be early next year when we make that judgment.”
The White House in recent months has emphasized Biden’s “intentions” to run for re-election, but has not committed either way. Biden, who turned 80 this month, is the oldest president in history.
Biden has faced questions about whether he will run in 2024 in part because of his age, as well as concerns from Democrats about his approval rating and whether he would be able to fight off a Republican challenge. However, he was given a major boost this month when a widely-predicted Republican “red wave” in the midterm elections did not come to pass. Republicans have narrowly taken control of the House, but Democrats were able to keep control of the Senate.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom this week shut down speculation that he might run as a primary challenger to Biden, telling Politico that he is “all in” for Biden’s re-election campaign…
