Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, a former member of House Democratic leadership, indicated on Thursday that President Joe Biden has yet to make a final decision regarding his participation in the 2024 presidential race. Despite Biden's repeated assertions that he will be the Democratic nominee for the upcoming election, Hoyer suggested that the President is still deliberating on his candidacy.
When questioned by reporters outside the Capitol, Hoyer stated, 'I think he’s going to make a decision – I think he’s still working on that – I don’t have any comment beyond what I just said.' This response from Hoyer implies that Biden's decision-making process is ongoing and that a final determination has not been reached.
Regarding Biden's public declarations about his intention to run for re-election, Hoyer refrained from providing further insight, stating, 'I’m gonna speak for myself – and right now, I have no further comment.' This response indicates that Hoyer is choosing to withhold additional commentary on the matter at this time.
The uncertainty surrounding Biden's candidacy for the 2024 presidential race has generated speculation and interest among political observers. As the President continues to deliberate on his future political plans, the Democratic Party and the broader political landscape await his final decision with anticipation.
