Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said he is convinced President Joe Biden will seek another White House term in 2024 despite the president not yet announcing his plans.
In a wide-ranging interview with CBS News on Wednesday, Clyburn said he’s sure Biden will seek reelection and that the South Carolina Democrat has pressed the president to announce his bid. Clyburn’s comments come as Democrats wait for Biden to indicate his plan, which is likely to determine whether other party members will also throw their hats in the ring.
However, Clyburn warned Democrats who may be considering a White House bid not to challenge Biden in the primaries.
"I don't think he will [face a primary challenger], and I don't think he should," Clyburn said. "The history is very clear on what happens when you challenge a sitting president like this."
