News from the Hill: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/544622-biden-sees-himself-as-a-two-term-president
Since Biden accepted the Democratic nomination, everyone wondered if he would commit to only serving one term. It's likely that we'll continue to hear these rumors until he makes a definitive call one way or the other. The election was close, and it would be risky to throw Democrats back into a primary battle while losing the advantage of incumbency. On the other hand, Biden is already the oldest president in the country's history. A run in 2024 would no doubt bring up questions about his ability to do the job.
Important quote mentioned in the piece: “Look, I view myself as a bridge, not as anything else,” Biden said on the campaign trail in March 2020. “There’s an entire generation of leaders you saw stand behind me. They are the future of this country.” He has not committed to stepping aside, but he clearly signaled his willingness to pass the torch. Get ready for many more stories like this one, especially two years from now as it becomes time to switch back into campaign mode.
