Joe Biden’s Presidency In Question?

Even before Joe Biden clinched the Democratic nomination, speculation about his intentions in office were rife after several of his comments floated the idea that he might not seek re-election in four years.

Biden was at pains to ease concerns amongst ageists, saying he wouldn’t seek re-election if his mental or physical health declined. He was keen to select a female vice president in order to set himself up as a man of the times, a disrupter and change-monger. Separately, he was eager to capture the imagination of the youth, suggesting he was a “transitional candidate,” acting as a bridge to a younger generation of leadership.

Biden said many things in the run up to the 2020 US Elections, unpacking all of which is going to be the source of much debate over his upcoming presidency. Clearly, though, none of it detracted from his favorable political odds in the run up to the general elections on November 3, nor did it prevent his momentous victory over Donald Trump.

One or Two Terms?

Current Trump Biden Betting Odds

Would Biden really be a one-term president, as he seemed to indicate early on in the race? Or are these merely throwaway comments from the president-elect, who admittedly does freestyle and go off script at times.

The answer to that question would definitely illuminate the role of vice president Kamala Harris in Biden’s administration, the first female politician to assume the second in command job. Shed light on what her future might entail on the American political landscape.

However, it’s unlikely that Biden will reveal exactly where his mind is at, for the simple reason that it would put him at a disadvantage politically on both the domestic and international front during one of the most challenging periods in recent history with a global pandemic that has been raging for 12 months and showing no signs of abating.

Having said that, Harris is now within one move of the Oval Office, bringing women to the forefront of American politics for the first time in the nation’s history. Four years is a long time, and by 2024, Biden will be 82 years of age.
