On Sunday, another Democrat refused to say if he wants President Joe Biden to run for reelection in 2024.
Democrat Representative Jamaal Bowman from New York repeatedly dodged questions regarding a possible Biden reelection on CNN’s “State of the Union” program.
CNN’s Brianna Keilar first began by playing a video montage of Democrats who have refused to say whether or not Biden should run for reelection, and, if he did, whether or not they would support him.
Bowman danced around the question regarding a Biden 2024 run and, when pressed harder, further refused to say whether or not he thinks Biden should run again.

Representative Brown is not the only Democrat who has recently dodged questions regarding Joe Biden’s political future. As The Next News Network recently reported, Chuck Schumer also dodged a question last week during a radio interview about whether President Biden should run for president in 2024.
The Next News Network also reported in July that, at the time, a New York Times/Siena College poll showed that 64 percent of Democrats don’t want Biden to run in 2024.

However, when pressed by ABC’s Jon Karl on Sunday who suggested it would be “better for [Biden] not to be running for re-election,” Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre assured him that Biden “intends to run” and is “not even focused on 2024.”

Biden is the oldest U.S. president ever elected and in November, he will be 80 years old. At the time when voters go to cast their votes in the 2024 election on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Biden will be roughly two weeks away from turning 82 years old.
