Buttigieg: I Expect Biden to Run in 2024 and I Will Support Him
Democrat quashes rumors of a one-term president
President Biden will run for reelection in 2024, according to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The statement by the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., and himself a one-time contender for the Democratic nomination for president, comes in the face of persistent whispers that the 79-year-old Biden won't run for a second term.
Biden will be just weeks from turning 82 on Election Day in 2024.
“Yes, I do expect him to run. I'll support him. And let me tell you why he's going to have a lot to be proud of, and I'm going to choose my words carefully because I'm appearing as an official and this is not a campaign-related appearance,” said Buttigieg, in an interview Sunday on Fox News. “But I'm proud to be part of this administration that has done such work to bring America back from the brink of a recession, to create record job growth, to build achievements that would not have been thought possible just a couple of years ago, like the bipartisan infrastructure law that I have the honor of working on.
“You know, people scoffed at the idea that you could get anything done on a bipartisan basis in Washington, and yet the president delivered it, and that's after years and years, multiple presidents, multiple Congresses coming and going, promising infrastructure bills without any results. This president, this administration, got it done and I'm proud to be part of that,” added Buttigieg, who is a member of Biden's Cabinet and rumored himself to be interested in another run himself for the White House.
