Today at the White House's annual Easter egg roll Joe Biden sort of announced his intent to run for reelection in 2024, in the most Joe Biden way possible. By mumbling something semi-coherent to Al Roker:
Biden: I plan on- at least 3 or 4 more Easter egg rolls. Maybe 5, maybe 6 what the hell.
Roker: Are you saying that you would be taking part in our upcoming election in 2024?
Biden: I'll either be rolling an egg or being, being the - you know - the guy who's pushing them out.
Wait, so he plans on "at 3 or 4 more" Easter egg rolls. That would take him through 2026, or halfway through his second term.
You can see him slowly doing the math in the head as he says maybe he'll actually get to the end of that second term!
There's nothing like the president of the United States telling us all that "what the hell, I don't know" maybe he'll survive until the end of the presidency!
Biden: I plan on running but we're not announcing it yet.
At least, as far as he knows, he's running. But he probably doesn't know he's already president, so it's tough to say.
I guess we'll find out!
