Will Joe run for a second term?

[redstateblues]

When asked before he always kind of dodged the question. Obviously Kamala would be in line to run for the office if Joe didn't run. Would anyone primary her? I'm sure the mid terms will have some inpact on the race. Just thinking ahead.

[LakeArenal]

1. Yes. I would never vote for a lame duck president.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. If Biden doesn't run, Harris is not the presumptive nominee- the Dem field will be wide open. Nt

[3Hotdogs]

8. I don't envision Harris getting the nomination, 24 or 28.

Her stunt at the debate pissed off too many people. Joe forgave her. I won't.

[CrackityJones75]

15. Hahaha yeah right.

Of course she will be the presumptive favorite. Who else would we trot out?

Oh I know can we put Andrew Yang up there again? Maybe an actual weekend at Bernies thing? Warren while I would like, isn’t ever going to be prez material. Harris will be by far the most qualified person having filled the VP role.

18. The progressive wing will look for a successor to Sanders to run...

[Amishman]

23. Better hope Trump runs again

Because if we one up the 2020 primary infighting we could actually lose to someone else.

[CrackityJones75]

25. neat.

[BlueLucy]

3. Joe is 100% running again. nt

[Tetrachloride]

4. I submit this is an inappropriate topic

We are not even 9 months into the Biden Presidency.

There are laws to be past, people to be help, voters to be located and registered.

Focus on today, this week, this month, this year.

[Budi]

7. THANK YOU

9 months in and they're talking primarying Kamala

Wtf.

[Hekate]

9. Yep

Also, IBTL

[Polybius]

5. If he doesn't run, we better have a strong candidate like he was

Not sure who I would choose, but it would have to be someone popular.

[Budi]

12. Yup. I can't even think of anyone with the creds professionally, globally nor personally who'd match

If he's willing to go a 2nd term then Biden is the man.
It would take the 1st 4 years just to clean the filthy crap left by Trump & get our govt fully functioning again so Biden can indeed Build Back Better, for future generations to carry this grand Democracy forward.

I can't imgagine the appalling state of crisis they are no doubt still uncovering.

6. Maybe Beto O'Rourke will run again

He gets a lot of support here on DU.

[Polybius]

16. First let's see if he can win a statewide election in his home state

We'll see if he runs for Governor.

[Hekate]

10. Far less than a year in and you're already counting on his demise?

Thank you so much and

[Zeitghost]

11. If he doesn't

It won't be good. It will be seen as a lack of leadership within the Party. That's not good with swing voters.

[budkin]

13. Absolutely

Why wouldn't he?

[NH Ethylene]

14. I thought he said early on that he would only do one term.

Ahh, it looks like it was stated by others but he denied making a pledge.

Former Vice President Joe Biden has reportedly signaled that he would only serve one term in the White House if elected in 2020 as the top-tier Democratic candidate faces questions about his age.

Four people who regularly speak with the 77-year-old Biden told Politico that it is unlikely he would run for reelection in 2024, when he would be in his 80s.

“If Biden is elected,” an adviser to the campaign told the news outlet, “he’s going to be 82 years old in four years and he won’t be running for reelection.”

“He’s going into this thinking, ‘I want to find a running mate I can turn things over to after four years, but if that’s not possible or doesn’t happen then I’ll run for reelection.’ But he’s not going to publicly make a one-term pledge,” another adviser reportedly said.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Joe is in great shape

I suspect that he has so much to clean up that he will run again

[iemanja]

19. I always thought he would only hold one term

because of his age. I could be wrong, of course.

[Progressive Jones]

20. President Joe will run again. There's much work to do. Too early to worry about this. nt

[Patton French]

21. Why wouldn't he? (n/t)

[uponit7771]

22. RWTP, why here?

[DemocraticPatriot]

24. I saw him state publicly that he would run again,

in an interview.

It was a few months ago.

[MineralMan]

26. Wait...Isn't He Still in the First Year of a Four-Year Term?

Why is this even a question to be asked?

Seems to me there are much better questions at this point in his presidencies...

[themaguffin]

27. Please don't. We aren't even a year in with critical issues right now.
