Why Shouldn't Joe Biden Run For A Second Term

March 2nd, 2023 

My Dear America:

Jill Biden in recent interviews has let the cat out of the bag.  

She has revealed that her husband, Joe Biden feels that he has a lot more to do and she is fully backing his decision to run for another term.  She said that it is only a matter of when and where Joe will make his formal announcement.

Well, actually the cat has been out of the bag for a fairly long time now.  

Joe Biden has been asked over and over whether he was going to run again for a second term and he has never answered that he was not going to run.  

In fact, President Biden has almost always answered in the affirmative stating that he was seriously thinking about running but was not willing to state that he was certain to run.  He usually stated that he would reveal whether he is running when he feels the time is right.  

There is certainly a lot of time left for President Biden to make his decision known regarding whether or not he is going to run again for the Presidency.  

While Donald Trump and Nikki Haley have already announced their intentions to enter the 2024 Republican Presidential Primary they have nothing to lose by doing so.  Trump is trying to stay one step ahead of the Jailhouse by throwing his dirty hat in the ring and Nikki Haley may be trying to position herself as Trump's Vice Presidential Nominee since there is not a snowballs chance in Hell that Trump's former VP, Mike Pence will get the nod again.

The truth is that if Joe Biden decides to run again there is not much of a chance that he will face any serious Democratic Challengers. 

As we have seen in the 2020 Primary Election the Democratic Party is loaded with talented Democrats who could certainly be serious Presidential Prospects if Biden chooses not to run.  Those Democrats like Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris are now closely aligned  members of  Biden's "Team of Rivals".   Bernie Sanders has already indicated that he expects Biden to run again and that if Biden does run for a second term Bernie will not run.  I think that it is unlikely for any of the Democrats who ran against Biden in the 2020 Primary will challenge him in 2024 if Biden does choose to run in 2024

Unlike the Democratic Party, The Republican Party is loaded with Losers and Lunatics, many of whom lost not only their Primary Elections to Trump but lost their souls, as well, during the past several years.  That is not to say that these damaged goods candidates can't win a primary or a general election.  The American Electorate is so skewed and screwed up at this point that in 2024 anything can happen and if the last decade is any barometer, who knows what in the hell is going to happen in the Republican Party in 2024.

But the Republican Back Bench is a bunch of desperate Wackos who seem to be more aligned with Vladimir Putin and his Toady, Tucker Carlson than they are with any Democrats.  Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Kevin McCarthy are all sad excuses for Politicians.  They are gutless individuals who, after Trump had mopped the floor with them, sat back and watched their party deteriorate as they became cheerleaders for Donald Trump's insane and reckless lies.

Why the hell shouldn't Joe Biden run for a Second term?

Oh MY God He is Eighty Years Old.

Yes he is Eighty Years Old but as we have learned over the years he has been our President he is a Spry, Talented and Accomplished President at 80.  

Would he have done any better job as President if he was 40 years old.

Maybe.

Maybe not.  Who knows.

But President Biden's age has not hampered him from turning the Republicans into cheerleaders for Social Security and Medicare during the recent State of the Union Speech.

It has not kept him from riding a train (Something he loves doing and is very practiced at) from Poland to Kyiv, Ukraine and dashing around the city with a much younger Volodymyr Zelensky and keeping the NATO Coalition together in order to assist Ukraine to defend itself from the Russian Killers who have illegally invaded their country.

It has not kept him from signing astonishingly progressive and far reaching legislation that will be improving matters in every way in every state in the union for many decades to come.

I ask you Who the hell could do a better job than this 80 year old man?

If he stays healthy, which I am convinced he will, Nobody else can do a better job at this time than the man who has been doing a Great Job since the day he became President of the United States. 

Yes, Indeed, Joe Biden will be running for President in 2024, If We Are Lucky Enough to have him.  

And if we are really lucky he will be leading our country for another Four Years.

Sincerely Yours

Jerry Gallagher
