Yes, Joe will be four years older.
Who knows what will happen between now and then?
I want to focus on winning this election, all up and down the ticket.
GOTV!

Any other consideration is irrelevant if the ticket doesn’t win in November.

Biden May run for a second term and even if he doesn’t there is no guarantee that the sitting VP will run. Biden didn’t 4 years ago and Cheney didn’t. The only consideration is to win this year.

A two term president. I don't count Truman because he was president when he ran for president due to FDR's death. So being the VP is no guarantee.

...because 2024 would imply either that we lose this November, or that Biden steps down after one term. And, although I know of some who think Biden should pledge to only serve one term, I think that's a terrible idea. It would essentially make him an instant lame duck -- Republicans would know that all they need to do is block him for four years, and they'd be handed a golden chance to regain the White House without a Democratic incumbent.
