President Joe Biden opened the door to not running for the presidency in 2024 on Wednesday during an interview with ABC News anchor David Muir, responding that it will depend on his health while making the subtle threat that he would be tempted to if former President Trump runs.

“Yes, but look, I’m a great respecter of fate,” Biden hedged concerning the promise he made in 2020 that he would serve eight years if elected. “Fate has intervened in my life many, many times. If I’m in the health I’m in now — if I’m in good health — then, in fact, I would run again.”

There have been strong indicators even before Biden entered office that he was in poor health and, since then, those suspicions have only grown among the American public. Most have already come to the conclusion he will not run for a second term and the assertion that he will do so if Trump enters the race is one that holds no weight. The President is now 79 years old and is not only gaffe-prone but seems to constantly forget what he is saying and where he is. He suffers from an ongoing cough as well and often walks as if he is in some form of increasing pain.
