    Should Biden run for president at the end of 2024? What are your thoughts?

    In an ideal world, Biden wouldn't run so that a more popular progressive candidate could run. Unfortunately, Biden likely will run for re-election at the end of his term, or the DNC will push hard for another milquetoast centrist if he doesn't.

    I agree with Brandon. I don't think Biden is the best president out there. From what I saw, many people only voted for him to get Trump out of office. However, from what I read in the article, Biden was confident when he said, "Yes. My plan is to run for reelection. That's my expectation." As the current newly appointed president, it's good that Biden responded confidently even if he doesn't run again. He would have looked weak if he said anything else. Also, why are reporters asking this question so soon? Biden has only been in office for like three months. The press is just trying to hurry up life.

    I don't think that he should run again, he should allow another to run who might be able to be more productive or something.

    I don't think he will end up running again by the end of his term and I don't think he should either as he has labeled himself as a bridge president I think it's illogical to run again. him winning the presidency creates some momentum for the party and it's pretty obvious that from here some more democratic candidates will come forwards vying to be the top candidate, and I don't think Joe Biden coming to join them would be of any benefit and it would probably stand more as a division within the party. Joe Biden pretty much just stood as anti-Trump in this election for people so when people have the option to choose for another candidate I don't think many would choose Biden.

    Depending on how his term ends out should be a deciding factor for reelection.
  • hannahliwai on 12 Apr 21
     
    i think it's too early to think about reelection because even if he wants to run again, he might change his mind about it in a few years.
  • bklopp601 on 12 Apr 21
     
    I believe we should wait to answer this question, cause we don't know what he's going to do in the future.

    Biden has made some big mistakes, and has done things I don't approve of...But it's been less than a year, so I will give him a chance to correct his mistakes.
  • milo_nordman on 15 Apr 21
     
    I agree with Jackie, it's too early in Biden's presidency to be asking whether or not he'll run again. I'm sure he'll try to run again, but I'm not sure how successful he'll be. Many people just voted for him because they didn't want Trump in office, so I'm doubtful they'll vote for him when there are other options.
  • wnichols1416 on 19 Apr 21
     
    it's too early in Biden's presidency to be asking whether or not he'll run again its been like 3 months that's a question that should be asked around the time of reelection.
  • joeypo10 on 19 Apr 21
     
    I don't Biden should run again because they are better options out there for our president. Many people only voted for Biden because they didn't like how trump was as a person rather than what his policies did.
  • tsilva588 on 19 Apr 21
     
    Personally, I think that Biden will run for president and I think that in 2024 he will lose. Do you think the rock can become president in 2024?
  • ericschmidtberge on 20 Apr 21
     
    I agree with most of the comments. It´s too early to tell if Biden will run again especially since it's only been a few months. Depending on what he does in the office and the feedback he gets will dictate if he runs again. I do feel that Biden was sort of elected just to get Trump out of the office and I hope that in the next election there's a better option besides just the one main factor was he wasn´t Trump. Either way, I look forward to following the rocks campaign.
  • rosellyrosas on 20 Apr 21
     
    I personally think that Biden will not run for president in 2024. I think it is also too soon for anyone to say anything since it hasn't been a year. Everyone was concerned about Biden's age when he ran for president, I feel like he shouldn't run for president again for that reason. What if he has too many health issues? What are your thoughts?
  • arosas733 on 21 Apr 21
     
    I agree with most of the comments that it is too early to tell, I think there is a chance he will run again but I don't see him getting voted in again. At least hopefully by then, we'd have better people to choose from as well. But especially cause of his age and him already being slow in general, it is unlikely for him to run again.

    It would be strange to see but it could be plausible, Trump isn't exactly safe with his words and what he does, so it wouldn't be that far off to maybe assume that he might be trying to find votes that don't exist.

    There are many things Trump has tried to convince people. It is very unlikely that there is voting fraud by millions of thousands. It is going to take more than just saying that to make it true. He needs to find evidence that this has been proven true. If there is then I could see his point, but without it, it makes it hard to believe.
  • margaretgrover on 05 Jan 21
     
    Trump has lost and he needs to accept that. There is no evidence of voting fraud in the thousands and millions, and the votes he needed aren't just magically going to appear. Without concrete proof, this is just an adult throwing a temper tantrum.
  • lennxbrown on 11 Jan 21
     
    This is possible but at some point, you have to give up. There is no proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the election was rigged so maybe its time to stop trying.

    Many could be questioning if they should vote or not because they're not sure if they'll receive justice if they vote or not. Plus, they don't want these issues to keep happening.
  • lennxbrown on 12 Oct 20
     
    I listened to a podcast that also mentioned many "black" voters will not be voting until they can receive something tangible like they were promised in the past. If this is true the Democrats or Joe Biden will not win the election.

    "Van Drew was one of only two Democrats to vote against formalizing an impeachment inquiry into Trump and, as recently as last week, made clear he planned to vote against the articles of impeachment. His planned party switch (which led to the resignation of many of his staffers) seems entirely driven by his feeling on impeachment as, on other issues, he is a moderate Democrat."

    I like what he is trying to do by helping those people, but I also think that it isn't worth it. It happened so long ago that they should bring up all of the pain again. Everyone might not sue them but if so many people do then that sounds to me like an unfair trial kind of thing. A lot of money against them I don't think they should get this law passed. Also that may hurt the whole city and the whole city didn't want those attacks to happen, only the extremist. Taking away that money from the city can make it fail.
  • Tanner Morriss on 04 Oct 16
     
    In my opinion people need to get over the whole 9/11 attack. Sure it was a big deal, but the culprits have been found and executed. This whole thing with Saudi Arabia being involved is absolutely ludicrous.
  • gknipe081 on 04 Oct 16
     
    I agree with Obama that those people should not have the right to sue Saudi Arabis because its not all those peoples fault.

    I'm glad that an organization like the Iowa Bar Association is standing up for Justice Wiggins and trying to inform people what a retention vote really should be about. It makes me wonder if the US Supreme Court would have made any of their unpopular decisions if they were to be put up for a retention election. I also commend Justice Wiggins and the other three Justices who where voted out last time for choosing not to campaign and keeping politics out of the judicial system as much as they can. I plan on voting to retain Justice Wiggins because I don't believe that he has done anything to lose his position as a Supreme Court Justice.
