Cringe
Joe Biden won't want to throw in the towel now - who wants to be a one-term president?
His age gives him unmatched political experience and his supporters argue that he has achieved a lot in one term. But he has aged, he is less fluent - this isn't a jibe...
The President said before Christmas that he would consult with family before deciding if he would run again.
So my naive instinct was based on human nature: that his family would tell him: 'Pop, dad, Joe, you've had a good run… support a good successor and stand aside'.
Strewth. What many will probably take away from this cringeworthy piece is a marked lack of enthusiasm for the prospect of covering for Joe Biden all over again. Constant embarrassment cannot be a jolly prospect even for media professionals.

How do you tell an elderly parent that they shouldn't drive any more? Being President is more demanding, and Sleepy Joe wasn't very good at politics before then.
On the other hand it gives the puppet masters cover for their shenanigans - as long as their puppet doesn't self destruct...
"His age gives him unmatched political experience"
They ought then to elect one of those ancient Bristlecone Pine trees. At least they are not likely to soil themselves in public.
Let the family decide? Eh? And get off that gravy train? Even if they will have to keep on giving ten percent to the Big Man.
DJ - I had the elderly driver problem with my father but fortunately he eventually realised he was past it. Yes I think Biden does give the puppet masters cover for their shenanigans, although there aren't many alternatives either.
Sam - and a tree wouldn't make as many mistakes such as wandering into a proxy war with Russia.
Doonhamer - Yes, the family has probably told him already that he can't retire.
".....his supporters argue that he had achieved a lot in one term ...." .
It would be interesting to know what he achieved in the 40 off years of political life, before that, apart from supporting the KKK. Asking for my American friend.

Penseivat - yes, the KKK link would have destroyed Trump before he even started, but it's okay for Joe.
