Report: Joe Biden ‘Irked,’ ‘Irritated’ by Speculation He Should Not Run in 2024Wendell Husebø 28 Jun 2022
President Joe Biden is reportedly “irked” and “irritated” that some Democrats and allied media outlets are opposed to a second presidential campaign in 2024.
While several establishment media outlets and Democrats have publicly stated their opposition to a potential Biden 2024 run, “the White House is trying to tamp down speculation about plans to seek re-election, while aides say President Biden is bristling at the persistent questions,” Jonathan Martin and Zolan Kanno-Youngs reported for the New York Times.
In April, Biden reportedly told former President Barack Obama he intends to run in 2024 because Biden believes he is the only Democrat who can defeat a potential presidential bid by former President Donald Trump. But polling, media, and some Democrat members of Congress oppose the idea due to Biden’s age and shaky track record as president.
Doubts of Biden’s future political viability have reportedly touched a nerve with the president. The Times says that Biden has been “irritated” with the “lack of respect from their party and the press” while whining about the lack of “signs of loyalty,” which “have been few and far between.”
