A debate has intensified among advisers of former Vice President Joe Biden if he should publicly promise to serve only one term as president if elected, Politico reported on Wednesday.
One adviser argued that public acknowledgment of the reality that an 82-year-old Biden in 2024 won’t run for re-election could help assure younger voters who are uninspired by his candidacy among concerns that his presidency could turn into an eight-year roadblock for the younger cadre of Democrats gaining prominent positions of power.
By this reasoning, if Biden states that he won’t run for re-election and chooses a vice president and Cabinet that is young and diverse, he could offer himself as a transition figure who could defeat Trump and help bring into power activist Democratics with new ideas.
This way of thinking also takes into account a scenario where Biden could always decide in the end to run for a second term if the circumstances warranted it and there was a public desire for him to do so.
The question has become more urgent in recent weeks as Biden has rebounded to take a solid lead among polls for the Democratic nomination. A Quinnnipiac survey released this week showed that he has a double-digit lead over his nearest Democratic opponent in the primaries for the first time since August.
Opponents of the idea fear that a clear pledge of a one-term presidency would be a show of weakness that could turn Biden into a lame duck and deprive him of his political capital.

Wow, run a candidate, who basically has a lot of BAD baggage like Hiliary because he a “comfortable” name for the Dems and then do a switch.
Heck just put Hiliary back out there. Let President Trump wipe the floor with her. She’s got her “documentary” all set to run so that she can swoop in like the vulture she is to claim her “prize” that was denied her by 63 MILLION taxpaying LEGAL voters. As we all no illegal aliens all vote dem.
Dems bringing down even the voting process for our President. The hell with the Constitution, the hell with We the People. It’s all about control, power, greed and changing this Great Country into a “nanny socialist” area for all their Globalist ilk.
Gee remember how Australia was created? Yep we are the new experiment for sending all the bad trash from all over the World here and We the People get to pay for it, We the People get to die by the hands of this bad trash, We the People have no representatives (except that glimmer in the House Minority Republicans) BUT We the People still have our 2nd Amendment and it’s a shame but it’s looking more and more like We the People will have to fight.
It’s all on the Dems and Rinos who sold out this Great Nation for their greedy endeavors. Yes Obama was the first World President, but We the People must fight for OUR President who FINALLY after SO MANY YEARS put AMERICA FIRST.
Time will tell.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Not to worry, Biden can never beat Trump in a general election. He’s a loser that was VP to a rotten president. What a joke he is.
I think it’s become clear that Biden has some mental issues, possibly early Alzheimer’s, etc……..His behavior is far worse than that of President Reagan just before his Alzheimer’s was diagnosed/announced. I don’t think he can make it through the 2020 election without self-destructing. And I don’t think the Democrats have a candidate who can beat Trump. That’s what the impeachment is all about - it’s a Hail Mary. And several Democrats are now saying if he is elected again, they will impeach again. To me, that’s a good reason to vote straight Republican and remove all Democrats to a corner where they can do no more harm to our country. The economy is in good shape. Unemployment is the lowest it has been since the 60’s. Keep Trump where he is and remove and Democrats who don’t think they can work with him or with the Republicans.
I don’t think I want joe to serve one term!!!
