Biden: Trump’s Possible Candidacy Strong Motivation for a Second Term

“This would increase my chances of running”: Joe Biden assured yesterday that if Donald Trump were to run for president again in 2024, he would find himself even more determined.

The 79-year-old Democratic president spoke in an interview with ABC News that aired last Wednesday night.

Asked if he will run for re-election, ok. Biden answered “yes”.

“But listen. I am someone who has a lot of respect for fate (…). If then I have the health I have now, if I am well, then I will run again.”

What if he has to face 75-year-old Donald Trump again?

“You are trying to tempt me,” the veteran of American politics replied with a smile.

“Of course, why not be a candidate if Donald Trump is a candidate? That would increase my chances of running,” he said.

Donald Trump continues to claim, without presenting any evidence for this, that in the 2020 presidential election, in which he faced Mr. Biden, he was “rigged” and that his victory was “stolen”.

The stormy Republican, whose supporters attacked the Capitol on January 6 to prevent the validation of his opponent’s victory, has hinted in recent months that he is considering running for a second term.

Mr Biden, whose advanced age had fueled a scenario about his intentions for the 2024 election, had already made it clear that his intention was to run for re-election.

While Vice President Kamala Harris was initially considered a natural heir, rumors are rife in Washington about her relationship with the White House tenant and her political future.

Mrs. Harris, 57, seems to be finding it difficult to find her place in the White House, where she has been given difficult and delicate missions, particularly to address the issue of ethnic and racial minority access to the electoral process and the immigration crisis in the south.
