Top White House advisers are set to make final decisions on launching President Biden’s re-election campaign, even as the would-be candidate seems to show little urgency to formally declare his 2024 plans, sources tell NBCNews.
advisers are set to make final decisions on launching President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, even as the would-be candidate seems to show little urgency to formally declare his 2024 plans, several sources familiar with the discussions told NBC News.
Another longtime adviser, who has navigated Biden’s candidacy decisions before, said the delay also serves to “preserve the option not” to run. With no major primary opposition, Biden has the luxury of starting his final campaign on his own terms. Biden has never been a darling of the left, yet the progressive wing of the Democratic Party appears to have coalesced behind him.
Noting that liberal senators like Sanders and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts are staying out of the race in deference to Biden, Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., a Biden ally, said: “So far, there’s no serious challenger. So, there’s no reason for him to get out there and expose himself to those [campaign] rules and regulations that curtail how much you can do when you’re an announced candidate.A White House spokesperson reiterated Biden's intention to seek re-election.
Biden’s campaign headquarters appears likely to be based in Wilmington, Delaware, though staff may also work in the Washington area, where some of the campaign apparatus is being put together at the Democratic National Committee. Keisha Lance Bottoms and Cedric Richmond, both former senior White House officials and top surrogates for Biden’s 2020 campaign, are being eyed as two potential national co-chairs.
Asked whether she may be tapped for the campaign manager job, Ridder said in an interview: “That’s very flattering.”Even as Biden has been content to hold off on a campaign launch, certain factors and deadlines are influencing the timeline.
