    Just imagine if he had stuck to his promise of being a one term president and didn’t try to run for reelection.

      Can someone link a single moment where he said this?

      I don’t remember it, but it has been four years.

        No, because he never said it directly just hinted at it:

        Asked in October if he would only serve one term if elected, the former vice president told the Associated Press that he wouldn’t make that promise but he wasn’t deeply committed to seeking a second term.

        “I feel good and all I can say is, watch me, you’ll see,” Biden said. “It doesn’t mean I would run a second term. I’m not going to make that judgment at this moment.”

        However there were several advisors on his campaign that said it:

        “If Biden is elected, he’s going to be 82 years old in four years and he won’t be running for reelection,” a prominent adviser to the campaign told Politico.

          I mean, come on. Imagine his debate performance in 2024. Dude would be absolutely ancient. That’d just be embarrassing for a great man,

          the advi/sor continued.
