Joe Biden is an incumbent president who served as vice president for two terms after serving in the U.S. Senate for the 36 prior years. He has been a political fixture for more than half of a century. On Wednesday, July 24th, President Biden announced, "I've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation."
Former President Lyndon Johnson was in 1968 the last incumbent president who did not run for reelection.
Democrat Party politics are Democrat Party politics, and whether this is a symptom of disarray therein is up for analysis. The facts are these. Biden is an incumbent president. Incumbent presidents run for reelection on a nearly without-fail basis.
