I expect great things from MVP Harris.

enjoy being able to sleep a little better at night, and *not* worrying about 2024 at any point in 2021.

This already?

And helps his VP be the first woman.

Which means no break from the primary wars on DU.

reelection, he has my vote. If he doesn’t, then the Democratic nominee will get my vote

No need to over think this

one way or another.

Because no one asked this question about Obama in 2009, Trump in 2017, etc.

I think Biden is only serving one term. Apparently, so do many others.

In the mean time, let's not saddle him as a lame duck prior to his swearing in.

Be great to have him gone.

so, we can't know at this point.

He may choose to run again, he may not.

We. Don't. Know. Not for certain.

I think the question is inappropriate prior to his even being inaugurated. Let's allow to
him to deal with all the major challenges he will take on. And we will see where he is ( and
where our country is) in two years when the 2024 race begins.

To think otherwise leaves him a lame duck before he is sworn in.

Because almost everyone assumes it. But power is power, and Democrats currently have power to make some real moves.

I am not sure that every one is assuming it. What is he is very popular in two to three years
and still in good health? Let's stay in our now and enjoy the coming recovery while wishing
the Biden/Harris awesome success in restoring our democracy.

I think we just need to see what happens. If he guides us through the end of the pandemic, rights the economy, makes good progress on climate change, and starts to rebuild the federal government, I could see him handing things off to Kamala and enjoying his time with his family. If there's more to be done, then he'll probably choose to run for re-election.

Let's just enjoy tomorrow and see how things go the next couple of years as I'm guessing that even Biden can't answer this question yet.

look at his future. My guess is he will tee it up for Harris in 2024, because he sees a lot of potential in her.

I think he is grooming Harris for 2024. We can have her for 8 years after Biden.

He knows he is getting old and his age bothers some people but that he is the best to jump start our healing process.

Well, I am glad I am wrong. I would be happy with Biden for 8 and then Harris for another 8. OK, yeah, getting ahead to far

The LAST thing we should be doing is echoing all the damn RWers who are predicting Biden will quickly be replaced by Harris -- though many of them are predicting that will happen within months, not in four years.

It could cripple Biden's presidency from the start if even Democrats view him as someone who won't be running again in 2024.

The key for Democrats in 2021-22 is delivering on promises as much as possible. Then they have a better story to tell in 2024, no matter who is running.

any hints that Biden might not serve two terms to try to convince Republicans that he's just a more moderate Trojan horse for a takeover by Harris and other supposedly "socialist" Democrats that Republicans should fear and oppose.

Do NOT devalue the importance of Biden as our candidate and our president.

He won because of who he is. Because of the person people see when they look at him.

Ignoring that will make others think his presidential run was some kind of bait-and-switch, and it was anything but that.

Voters took someone trustworthy over a risk. That happened in both the primary and GE.

which allows Harris to run for two terms after being President for 2 years. They would be silly to not be at least having a discussion about that.

In fact, they think it will happen Thursday. Somehow they think Pelosi can invoke the 25 th.

And happening on Thursday is a stupid plan. Then Harris only gets to run once. But they're morons, so...

I am uncertain. If he’s in good health and wants to finish what he started, he may run again. If unwilling or unable, Harris is very capable and would make a good President.

But if he lets someone else take the helm, it would be understandable.

I edited my title of this post completely because I was thinking the poll was about whether Trump would run again in 2024, not Biden. I guess I read the title of the OP a little too quickly and much too carelessly. Yikes

I originally said "Not a chance. Even most of his own supporters will abandon him long before then." I would never have said something as senseless as that if I had read the OP's title more carefully to begin with. Biden's supporters would never abandon him, obviously.

Thanks to you and Drunken Irishman for catching me on this, or I wouldn't have realized my mistake.

If he is successful, he will be popular.

My mind was playing games on me. Or something.

Kind of embarrassing to say the least.

Thanks for questioning me on it, or I wouldn't have seen it when I checked "My posts."

Not into thinking about it already. 82 is old but he is in good shape. But Harris running would be great. If things go well I can see that happening. And they will go well.

There hasn't been an elected President who chose not to run for another term since Johnson and that was a really unique situation.

He just won more votes than any candidate in history. He will run again so long as he remains healthy.
