Joe Biden is telling everyone he will seek re-election in 2024 – including those who don’t want him around. After Barack Obama gave him the cold shoulder at an April White House event, sources revealed to the Hill that Biden had told his former boss he planned to go for it in 2024. You get the sense the leak did not come from Obama’s camp.
‘I view myself as a bridge, not as anything else,’ Biden said at a Michigan rally in March 2020. ‘There’s an entire generation of leaders you saw stand behind me. They are the future of this country’.
Every candidate sounds a conciliatory tone in victory, particularly when they need their former foes’ supporters, but humble words aren’t always necessary. The ‘generation of leaders’ to whom Biden gestured wildly consisted of Senator Kamala Harris (D-Unlikable) and Senator Cory Booker (D-Vegan), who mustered zero delegates combined in 2020.
The bridge he described leads nowhere, and Biden knows it: ‘He thinks he’s the only one who can beat Trump’, the Hill leaker said.
