Jill Biden Gives Hint on Joe’s 2024 Plans

First lady Jill Biden One of the most clear signals President Obama gave was that he would be stepping down. Joe Biden He will run for another term amid speculation that the former president might withdraw from a second bid for the presidency. His team announced Friday that they are trying to determine the best time and place to announce his candidacy.

“How many times does he have to say it for you to believe it?” The first lady Telled The Associated Press in Nairobi Kenya on Friday during a five day trip to Africa.

“He says he’s not done. He’s not finished what he’s started,” She added. “And that’s what’s important.”

Since his election, President Biden has been plagued by speculation and questions about a second presidential run. Critics point to his advanced age. Biden would be 86 when he leaves office in early 2029 if he is reelected.

In an interview with AP, the first lady stated that she will be able to decide whether he runs again “because I’m his wife.” She said that Biden will also have to “listen to me because we’re a married couple” But it was stipulated that Biden “makes up his own mind.”

Biden frequently stated that he would like to run for another term. reporters He announced that he would run during his March 2021 news conference. He also stated his intention to run in a press conference after the Nov. 8, 2021 midterm elections. However, he wouldn’t announce his decision until early 2023.

Biden previously stated that he would not declare his candidacy for president because it could violate federal election laws or campaign financing rules. Former President Donald Trump made similar comments in 2021. Trump was the first major Republican to declare a presidential candidacy a week after last year’s Nov. 8 midterms.

Despite Biden’s public statements, intense speculation continues about Biden’s future. Biden’s future is being questioned in a Politico article published this week. “four people familiar with the president’s thinking,” Biden stated that there is no set deadline when he will announce the bid. This has allegedly prompted some Democrat strategists as well as donors to devise a contingency strategy.

“An inertia has set in,” One alleged confidant of Biden spoke to the outlet. “It’s not that he won’t run, and the assumption is that he will. But nothing is decided. And it won’t be decided until it is.”

Biden said his health would be an important factor in his decision to run for the White House. He said last year that he would discuss such a decision with his family over the Christmas holiday weekend. Yet, Biden has not made an official announcement.

This development is significant because polling has shown that Democratic voters are less likely to support Biden’s re-election bid. An AP/NORC poll Released An earlier poll found that only 37% of Democrats supported a second Biden term. This is a decrease from the 52 per cent in the week before the Nov.8 midterms.

When asked about the survey, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters this month that polling numbers aren’t as important as getting the desired results for Democratic voters.

“The way that we should look at this is what we saw from the midterms,” She The victory rate was higher than expected, “because the president went out there and spoke directly to the American people.”

What about other candidates?

“I wouldn’t be running for president if I didn’t believe I could contribute to harnessing the collective sensibility that I feel is our greatest hope at this time,” Williamson spoke with Medill News Service in a interview.

Meanwhile, California Gov. Gavin Newsom stated in November that he would not run for the presidency in 2024, if Biden chooses. The governor of the Democratic party said it would cause Democratic infighting that would hurt his party’s chances.

“I’ve told everyone in the White House, from the chief of staff to the first lady,” Newsom Telled Politico.

Trump is not the only prominent Republican, but Trump’s ex-Gov. of South Carolina has been. Nikki Haley and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy have entered the race. Both Ramaswamy and Haley made their respective announcements this month.
