NEW YORK – President Joe Biden on Thursday said he would likely seek reelection in 2024, but the 78-year-old Democrat left open the possibility of stepping aside after one term. “My plan is to run for reelection.
That’s my expectation,” Biden told reporters in a wide-ranging news conference, the first of his young presidency. He later pushed back against a reporter's suggestion that his 2024 plans were definite. “I said that is my expectation,” Biden said. “I’m a great respecter of fate.
I’ve never been able to plan four-and-a-half, three-and-a-half years ahead for certain." Traditionally, there is no mystery as to whether a first-term president will run for reelection.
