Biden Surprises Staffers by Delaying 2024 Announcement – Here Are the Factors Reportedly Being Considered

President 👤Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is going nowhere fast, and that has some 🐴Democrats getting antsy.

Former President Donald Trump and several other Republicans have declared they are candidates for their party’s nomination in 2024. And although Biden has said he expects to seek a second term, the official announcement has been on hold.

Axios reported that as Biden waits, he has “left many ambitious 🐴Democrats and would-be staffers with their 2024 plans on hold.” The site noted that initial expectations were that after talking the idea over with his family at Christmas, he would announce a campaign early this year.

That has not happened.

Some say Biden has nothing to lose by waiting.

“He’s earned the luxury of making the timetable. The longer he can keep this thing focused on his duties in the White House, and less about the campaign back-and-forth, the better off he’s going to be,” said Brad Bannon, a Democratic strategist, according to the Associated Press.

“He’s not going to win re-election or lose re-election based on what happens in his campaign. He’s going to win it based on his performance as president and the performance of his opponent, whoever it is,” Bannon said.
