Former Vice President Joe Biden’s advisers are reportedly asking him to consider pledging to just serve one term in office if he wins his party’s nomination and faces off against President Donald Trump in the general election.
According to a Thursday New York Times report, Biden’s advisers are discussing “a possible pledge to serve only one term†and framing Biden’s 2020 campaign “as a one-time rescue mission for a beleaguered country.â€
Biden is reportedly “uneasy with the prospect of pledging up front not to seek re-election,†though, “believing that it would make him a lame-duck president before he even takes office and cripple his ability to get anything done.â€
His advisers are reportedly also asking him to consider announcing failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams as his running mate when he announces his candidacy. But the Times notes that, by doing so, “Biden could appear presumptuous — even imperious — by choosing a running mate before the electorate has the chance to sift the field of candidates.â€
A one-term pledge would highlight the fact that Biden would turn 80 in the White House. But in a poll of millennials organized by Chicago’s GenForward survey project that was released this week, Biden actually led “in all surveyed voting blocks–except for millennial Latinos.â€
The poll found Biden, with 21 percent support among millennial voters, three percentage points ahead of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
