Look’s like Biden is going to run in 2024 but before you groan, hear me out. It’s great news.
During a press briefing Jean-Pierre did something completely out of character and answers a question—FOR ONCE. The Press Sec was asked if Biden would take a shot at 2024, and here is how she responded:
“He has — first of all, let’s — let’s reset for a second. I cannot talk about elections. I cannot be a political analyst from here or — you know, or the midterms or anything like that, or including 2024,” Jean-Pierre muddled out.
She continued, “The President, as you know, has been asked that question many times, and he has answered it. His answer has been pretty simple, which is: Yes, he’s running for reelection. I’m — I can’t say more than that.”
Earlier Jean-Pierre was touting that Biden has had ‘historic’ job growth. A reporter stole the wind out of her sails by asking, “didn’t it also lead to historic inflation?”
We just talked about how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez choked when she was asked whether she plans to support Biden for reelection.“We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” she told CNN.
“I think if the president has a vision, then that’s something certainly we’re all willing to entertain and examine when the time comes,” she added, “but right now, we need to focus on winning a majority instead of a presidential election,” referring to the upcoming midterm elections, in which Republicans are expected to regain control over the House and potentially the Senate.
AOC’s nervous response is not unique. Biden doesn’t have the support of the DNC for reelection but as a sitting president, he doesn’t really need their nomination. This mean, he pretty much bumps off Democrat’s potentially better choice. He also doesn’t have the willing support of the Democrats nor their supporters so whoever runs against him could easily make light work of the gaffe king.
To us, this could potentially mean not having to sit through a long drown-out campaign battle or stress over potentially split votes. A Biden run would make the presidential race a ‘buyers market’ for voters.
