Biden Breathing Fire
Thursday, on the one-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol Building, Biden gave perhaps the most memorable and on point speech of his Presidency.
Without mentioning Trump by name, Biden described how a former President of the United States created and then spread a web of lies designed to undermine the 2020 election. He cited how this man values power over principle and chided him for his inability to accept defeat.
Here is the truth: The former president of the United States has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election.
He’s done so because he values power over principle. Because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or Constitution.

The fire and brimstone speech didn’t come across as if it was being delivered by someone preparing to step away from his job before completing the mandate he was given by the people.
It seems very likely that unless he encounters a health issue, Biden, 79, will finish out his term.
Will Joe Go For Two?
Now, Biden running again in 2024, that’s a completely different matter. He’s already the oldest candidate to ever win the White House. Does it make sense for him to run for a second term in 2024 when he’ll be in his 80s?
As recently as March of last year, Biden was suggesting that he would be running for President again in 2024. Then again, what was he supposed to say? A reporter posed the question to Biden as to whether he would seek a second term.
“You can’t love your country only when you win.”
Well said, @POTUS. Thank you for your moral clarity in defending our democracy.

If he says no, Biden instantly identifies himself as a lame-duck President prior to the 2022 mid-terms. It could’ve thrown both the country and the Democratic Party into disarray as potential candidates would’ve begun their Presidential posturing.
Could We See The Don Of A Second Trump Era?
Trump is telling everyone that he plans to run for the Republican nomination again in 2024. Trump is 75 and isn’t exactly the picture of health. While publicly the majority of Republicans in power are either endorsing Trump or at the very least staying quiet on the subject, the belief is that there is a groundswell of support to put forth Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the 2024 Republican Presidential candidate.
Trump said he was going to drive by a street corner this afternoon in W. Palm Beach to waive to supporters. The cult was out there all day waiting. Right wing networks sent their camera crews. He never showed. pic.twitter.com/fiUeomEfa6

Some close to Trump, including his former fixer Michael Cohen, are convinced that his 2024 candidacy is nothing more than Trump’s latest grift. They think he has no intention of running and is using this as a ruse to milk more money out of the MAGA masses.
The bottom line is that it’s entirely possible that neither Trump or Biden will run for President in 2024.
