Under the 22nd Amendment, Presidents cannot be elected more than twice.

In June 2022, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced that Biden had plans to run again, but that could change in 2024.

When asked during a White House press briefing if he would run again, Jean-Pierre replied: “First of all, let’s backtrack for a second. I can’t talk about elections. I can’t be a political analyst from here or, you know, or the midterms or anything or including 2024.”

She continued, “As you know, the President has been asked this question many times, and he has answered it. His answer was pretty simple, yes, he is running for re-election. I can not say more .”

However, many Americans believe Biden would be too old to run for re-election, as David Axelrod, Obama’s chief strategist, told the New York Times that Biden “would be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of a second term, and that would be a big issue.”
