Biden Says He Might Not Be Running If Trump Weren't In The Race

[mudwhistle]

This was an incredibly interesting Statement by Biden.

I'm surprised that USMB doesn't have a thread on it...that I can find.....

Already a thread on this.

Try scrolling down once in awhile

“If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running,” the president told donors.

President Joe Biden told donors in Boston on Tuesday that he might not be running for reelection had Donald Trump not entered the race.

“If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running,” Biden said, according to reporters present at the event. “But we cannot let him win.”

Biden didn’t immediately elaborate on that thought process, but the admission shouldn’t come as much of a shock.

Going back to 2020, Biden’s campaign pitched him to voters as the party’s best chance at stopping Trump from securing another term in office, arguing that an establishment Democrat would do better in swing states than his progressive rivals for the nomination.

When he succeeded in nabbing the nomination and winning the general election, Trump seemed unlikely to be a formidable opponent in 2024.
He’d lost the popular vote by a sizable margin, squandered support in the Republican Party over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and declared that the American election system had been rigged against him in the 2020 election.

But within two years, Trump had announced his candidacy. He’s currently polling as the front-runner for the GOP nomination by massive margins.

Biden Says He Might Not Be Running If Trump Weren’t In The Race​

So, if Trump gets knocked out of the race, Biden may drop out. Very interesting. What do you think?

Not only was Biden suggesting that he may have been dreaming of political retirement after serving only one term, but his comments suggest that he believes that he is not up to the task of a second term, either in terms of motivation or physical and mental fitness.

Even more significant, the admission appears to confirm what Democrats are increasingly concerned about: The Democratic Party has a succession problem. The remark strongly implies that Biden is running for re-election because the leadership of the Democratic Party does not believe the party has another candidate who could beat Trump for the White House.

I think someone should tell him that TRUMP! isn't running.

 

[hadit]

We would be better off should the old men not be in the race.

Which of the younger challengers are you going to vote for in the primary?

 

[Lord-Humungus]

This is just another lie Biden is telling

You're right. The Democrats do have a major problem. Biden seems to be the only one that can unite the 'Democratic Coalition'.

People on the 'Left' are way too individualistic. Any slight difference in their opinion with the Democratic candidate, and they don't vote. They refuse to unite.

The primary motivation that unites the left is hatred for Trump. While Biden seems to be the only one that can unite the Democratic coaltion, he alone can not get them motivated. He NEEDS Trump for that.

But I don't believe that if Biden dropped out, Trump would win. Trump is the most hated politician in American history. The Democrats could probably run a turnip and still beat Trump.

 

[Richard-H]

If Biden did drop out, and Trump was not a candidate....

Who do you think would be the Democratic Party Nominee?

Could they beat Haley? DeSantis? Santos?

 

[Richard-H]

Aw C'mon!

Doesn't anybody want to discuss Haley vs. Harris, Newsom vs. DeSantis, Santos vs. himself?

I understand, all the Trump minions are in stage 1:

DENIAL:

Understanding Grief and Loss, it's as unique as individuals themselves.

When understanding grief, one needs to understand that there are no rules. It is personal and individual, and every person experiences it differently.

Biden is a great American hero. Only he stands in the way of Trump and Putin's USA takeover, and we must love him for his sacrifice.

Jesus Christ > Joe Biden, but just barely.

Newsom or Whitmer.

Four more years of The Regime dragging down the country. That's what you are choosing if you vote for the Democrats. I don't care who is running at the top of either ticket, The Regime has to be removed. That is the only way the country comes back.

Poopeypants will drop dead if he tries to keep running.

 

[jbrownson0831]

If Biden wasn't running there are a lot of other Democrats I would love to see run like Bernie Sanders, I always loved Hillary, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez( beautiful and highly intelligent), and John Fetterman.

Every Democrat name mentioned superior to Trump in every way. Our Democrat president's seem to always clean up the mess done by a former Republican president. Biden has done a good job cleaning up the mess Trump left him.

W...a...c...k...o

 

[braalian]

Biden won't be the nominee.

Neither will Trump

 

[Blisterfinger]

Pipedream. We gotta get Biden over the top.

Interesting the loser of this election will probably to prison. Biden because he's a criminal, trump because of the corrupt justice system. We really need Trump back for all of our own good

Biden didn't even come close!! In fact he fucked things up real bad.

MAGA

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The most interesting and telling thing about this admission, is that Biden is actually suggesting here he's too old to remain president.

Think about it. What other modern day president has bowed out after their first term?

You can make the argument about Lyndon Johnson, but even he had to finish Kennedy's term before he served his own first term.

Biden knows he's too old, and he's now publicly admitting it.
