Biden Campaign Denies Report He Only Wants One Term as President

Former Vice President Joe Bidens campaign pushed back on a report that he only wants to serve one term as president, even as a reporter said Biden himself went on the record and wouldnt commit to two terms in a previous interview.

The situation unfolded this week as Politico reported, citing four anonymous people “who regularly talk to Biden,” that the 77-year-old doesnt want to run for re-election if he wins the 2020 election.

“If Biden is elected, hes going to be 82 years old in four years and he wont be running for reelection,” a person described as “a prominent adviser to the campaign,” was reported to have said.

“Hes going into this thinking, I want to find a running mate I can turn things over to after four years but if thats not possible or doesnt happen then Ill run for reelection. But hes not going to publicly make a one-term pledge,” another top Biden adviser said, according to Politico.

Lots of chatter out there on this so just want to be crystal clear: this is not a conversation our campaign is having and not something VP Biden is thinking about. https://t.co/mXNEnX6GrU

Kate Bedingfield, deputy campaign manager for Biden, pushed back on Dec. 11, linking to the story and writing in a statement: “Lots of chatter out there on this so just want to be crystal clear: this is not a conversation our campaign is having and not something VP Biden is thinking about.”

But that statement prompted Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard to respond, writing that Politico reporter Ryan Lizza “didnt make this story up.”

“I can assure you. Biden told me—on the record—he would not commit to two terms when I interviewed him in October. And I didnt come up with the question out of thin air,” she added.

Lizza hasnt responded directly but shared Kinnards tweet.
