IT IS MY INTENTION TO RUN AGAIN
Well, we have it now. Jonathan Capehart intevviewed President Biden this afternoon, and asked him about 2024.
He prefaced the question with a report that Dr. Jill Biden, whose position on a second campaign has been said to be decisive, has indicated that she and the family are supportive of a second campaign, then asked if the president had made any decision.
President Biden responded that his son Beau had told him if someone was running in the other party whose views were so detrimental, “you have an obligation to run.” He then referred to the fact Trump will run again, and said “I am not formally announcing because then I am officially a candidate and there are all kinds of rules that kick in.”
And then he concluded...
“It is my intention to run in 2024.”
And there you have it.
Personally, I am really glad to hear this.

I don’t know where he gets the energy, but I’m glad to hear this. Now we just must give him a Congress he can work with.
As for the age issue, consider what I know about people over 80 years old. I am 76 years old, and I live in a senior living community. We have about 300+ residents; most of us are in independent living accommodations. I have my Precious Penelope (my cat) and my car. I come and go as I please. The point I make is that many, many residents are in their 80s and 90s. At least one is 98 years old. I am a writer and editor for The Crier, our community newspaper. Our stalwart manager of The Crier is 94 years old, he still drives to shopping, appointments, etc. Any one of the nonagenarians I have met are sharp, coherent, intelligent, and eager to participate in life. They come here from all walks of life: teachers, engineers, physicists, doctors, nurses, researchers. The 81 year old man who lives in the apartment next to mine works full-time on a research project for the government. He gives talks and seminars about his work at a few universities. I believe our standard of living in America results in long-lived citizens. So, President Biden is on the leading edge of this generation of octogenarians and nonagenarians capable of contributing to the welfare of our nation. VOTE BIDEN. VOTE FOR CAPABLE DEMOCRATS, respecting the advantages of their ages.
