Lame Duck: Joe Biden Refuses to Rule Out Serving Only One Term if Elected in 2020

Joe Biden refused to rule out serving only one term as president if elected in 2020, claiming he was not ready to “make that judgement at this moment.” The 76-year-old former vice president, who would be the oldest person ever inaugurated as commander in chief if elected in 2020 save for his Democrat rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), made the admission during an interview with the Associated Press on Saturday in South Carolina when asked if age mattered among White House hopefuls.

“Right now it’s a legitimate question to ask, just like it was legitimate to ask me when I was 29 years old running for the Senate, did I have enough judgment to be a senator,” Biden said. “Right now, my age has brought with it a significant amount of experience in government and hopefully wisdom and some sound judgment.”

When pushed if his age would open up the possibility of serving only one term in the presidency, Biden asserted he was not ready to make such a promise, but also admitted he would not automatically commit to running for reelection in 2024.

“I feel good and all I can say is, watch me, you’ll see,” the former vice president said. “It doesn’t mean I would run a second term. I’m not going to make that judgment at this moment.”

Biden’s comments come as his campaign struggles amid anemic fundraising, questions over his son’s business dealings with foreign governments, and doubts over his own fitness for the presidency.

There’s a very funny Daffy Duck-like photo of Biden at the link, but since it’s a Getty image and I’ve heard they can be real freaking badgers about the use of their copyrighted photos, I didn’t post it here right now. Go capitalism!
