Biden Gives Away the Truth About His Decision to Run for Re-Election

President Joe Biden is opening up a bit about his motivation for running for re-election.

Fox News reported Tuesday that Biden told donors, “If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running.”

“But we cannot let him win,” he reportedly added.

Watch the video below:

While he was returning to the White House, a reporter asked the president, “Would you be running for president if Trump wasn’t running?”

“I expect so. But look, he is running and I have to run,” Biden responded.

He was then asked a major question, “Would you drop out if Trump drops out?”

“No,” Biden responded before adding clarifying two words, “Not now.”

Now, you may have noticed that was a bit of a walkback from his initial statement. But there was still plenty of hedging there. He would “expect” he would be running if Trump wasn’t, not a definitive yes. And there was not a definitive “no” when asked about dropping, it was “not now,” which seems to suggest there’s a possibility he could.

Why Biden decided to open his mouth and say such things is unclear. But they offer a confirmation of what we’ve all been thinking: that he is too old to run for office again, he would be 86 at the end of a potential second term, and he doesn’t really want to run again.

Those aren’t the words of someone confident about the future and his ability to serve out another term successfully.

These are the words of someone who gets a job and is mediocre at it, but the power brokers tell them if he leaves, everything will go down the drain because they haven’t found a good replacement and those eager to step up would be worse, so he has to stay and be tortured by a job he’s not really into.
