It appears as though Dr. Jill Biden has made up her husband's mind, and he's still running for president in 2024 … which is good news for the Republicans. This news comes as more than two dozen House Democrats have called for Biden to step aside if things don't improve immediately. The New York Times editorial board has called for Biden to step aside.
But Biden is stubborn.
JUST IN - Biden on call with staff just now: "I am running"

“I am running. I am the leader of the Democratic Party. No one is pushing me out. I’ve been knocked down before and counted out my whole life. When you get knocked down you get back up.” - @POTUS

Ah, the Chumbawumba strategy.

"Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running…no one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win.”

Jill and Hunter ain't leaving without a fight.
Good! Because we know he can’t win. I hope they stick with him all the way to their inevitable loss in November.

Dude can barely walk and now he thinks he's running...

I really don’t think it will be his decision.

Yes, please run Biden! 4 more months of bumbling and microscopic analysis of the mistakes. He’ll win Washington, Oregon, Cali, and a handful of NE states, maybe MN, and that’s it. It’ll be a bloodbath.

Joe, you didn’t get knocked down. You fell down.

It was just one bad night exacerbated by cold medicine and jet lag.
We're not certain of the source of this quote, but we don't doubt its veracity. Biden hasn't shown any sign of stepping down. Besides, the August issue of Vogue featuring the Biden family photographed by Annie Leibovitz isn't even out yet. There's still plenty of fight left.
