President Biden will serve a full second term if reelected in 2024, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre clarified Tuesday after suggesting earlier that his commitment to serving a full eight years was an open question.
Jean-Pierre’s suggestion came hours after Biden announced his reelection campaign. As White House press secretary, she is restricted from engaging in political activities while serving in her official capacity as a federal employee, because of the Hatch Act.
During Tuesday’s press briefing, a reporter asked Jean-Pierre whether Biden plans to serve all eight years if he is reelected in 2024.
Jean-Pierre smiled and said, “That’s something for him to decide.”
“I’m just not going to get ahead of the president,” she said, referring all questions about the 2024 race to the Biden campaign.
Moments after the press briefing ended, Jean-Pierre clarified her statement on Twitter.
“As you know, we take following the law seriously,” Jean-Pierre said in a tweet. “So I wanted to be sure that I didn’t go into 2024 more than is appropriate under the law. But I can confirm that if reelected, @POTUS would serve all 8 years.”
At 80 years old, Biden is already the oldest president in American history, and he’s no stranger to questions about his physical and mental fitness. The president, who would be 82 at the beginning of a second term and 86 at its conclusion, is in uncharted territory in seeking another term in his 80s.
Biden reiterated his campaign message in a speech to union leaders on Tuesday afternoon.
“We had to fight like hell. And folks, we made a lot of progress because of all of you,” Biden said. “But there’s more to do. So let’s finish the job.”

Joe is 0ne tough son of a gun. All those battles he won on the killing fields of Vietnam and Cambodia are paying off big time now.
The Biden actor was INSTALLED not elected and will continue playing his part to keep the calm if President Trump and his allies will not have completed eradicating the evil elites.
Didn’t you read yesterday that “Biden” “said” he will run for a second term, asking voters to give him time to “finish the job.” What do you think this means? Clearly: Staying in control to keep the keep the calm while President Trump and his allies are cleansing the planet from the evil high-ranking elite monsters. When are you people gonna wake up to what’s really happening?
Body double says he’s fully committed while Joe’s own ‘fully committed’ refers to prediction of admission to mental institution.
